1. Read the installation and maintenance instructions as well as the recommended safety practices in this
manual
2. Install ductwork completely before operating collector:
A.) Seal ductwork with silicone sealant or duct tape.
B.) Have dust bin in place and sealed.
Caution
The Direct Drive Fan / Blower makes the system top heavy! Use extreme care when setting the unit
up! It is recommended that at least two people lift the system up.
Warning
Do not operate Fan / Blower unless Fan Housing is attached to Cyclone body and Dust Drum is in
place. Dust Drum and Cyclone must be in place and sealed or motor will overheat!
Warning
Check amperage draw on motor with all gates open. Current draw should not exceed maximum
motor amperage as stated on motor plate. (OAS is not responsible for damage to motors caused by
improper installation, wiring or failure to follow these directions.)

The Oneida Smart Dust Collector™ is a unique breakthrough in portable dust
collection technology. The Smart System has an infinitely variable fan curve
which means that it can automatically adjust and maximize air volume and
suction to a wide range of tools, hose sizes, and even undersized suction
ports.
For 4 - 6” dust ports, it provides much more air volume and pressure (up to
26” of H2O), 2 to 3 times that of a standard dust collector. For woodworking
tools with 3” or smaller dust ports, you’ll get high suction similar to a shop
vacuum. The stunning result is a lot more air at the woodworking tool and
much less fugitive dust escaping to the shop air. 99% of the waste is pre-
separated with a high efficiency cyclone and clean air is returned to the shop
through GE® Certified (H-12) HEPAmedia (MERV 16+ rated).
The Smart Collector is equipped with patent pending Flame Guard arrestor
for fire safety. It also features the patent pending Dust Sentry, a drum overfill
sensor with a strobe light, so you know when it’s time to empty the drum.
Designed to overcome the friction in Flex Hose!
High suction for small diameter ports, similar to
a shop vacuum!

V.SystemAssembly
It is always good to have a qualified helper to
assist you during assembly. Some parts are
heavy and awkward to deal with.
Drum Assembly
Drum Lid Assembly
1. Apply silicone sealant to each hole be-
fore attaching the casters to assure air tightness.
This is very important when using a collection
bag because even a tiny air leak will interfere
with the bag working.
4. Apply 1” gasket around rim of the under-
side of drum lid. [Figure 3]
Carefully align the ends so there is no gap be-
tween them and it makes a tight seal against
itself.
2. Attach the casters to the bottom of the
drum with included 1/4 - 20 hex head bolts,
making sure the bolt heads are on the inside of
the drum. [Figure 1]
3. Attach the dust drum latches with the in-
cluded 10 - 32 pan head screws with the screw
head on the outside of the drum and the nyloc
nuts on the inside of the dust drum. Apply
silicone sealant to each hole here also to pre-
vent air leaks. [Figure 2]
5. Apply a continuous line of silicone seal-
ant [Figure 4] to the cone flange before bolting
in place with (6)1/4-20 x 3/4” bolts,(12) washers
and (6)nuts.
[Figure 5] Make sure the 2 holes for the front
leg brace are lined up with the cone inlet and
tabs for the back leg braces will be pointed down
when cone is right-side up. [Figure 6}

smooth, level floor, apply (4) plastic lid clamp
guards. Do not clamp lid. [Figure 9A]

6. Cut 3 wooden blocks from a 2 x 4 that are
2 1/2” high. [Figure 8]
Place blocks under drum so it lifts it and will not
roll. [Figure 8A]
Leg Assembly
8. Slide foam hand grip onto top of bent front
leg. You may need some lubricant such as a
little soapy water to help. [Figure 10]
11. Slide plastic cover on cord holder and
attach to front of gussett with 1.75” carriage
bolts on front leg and either back leg as shown.
You may have to carefully pull holder wider to
fit bolt in bottom hole.
[Figure 11]
10. Attach gusset
to front leg using 2”
carriage bolt / gusset
/ leg / 1/4” washer /
1/4” nut. Loosely bolt
front leg to the angle
ring on cyclone as
shown below.

12. On the two straight, back legs, gently
insert the threaded inserts with a hammer in
bottom of leg, then screw in the two eyebolts all
the way in. [Figure 12]

15. Attach drum lid to the front and rear leg
bracket lid holders using 1/4” - 20 x 3/4” Hex
head bolts, washers and nuts. Tabs on rear leg
brackets should point up.

13. Put wheel nuts between 4” - 5” from
each end of threaded axle. Next put axle
through rear leg eyebolts. Then loosely put jam
nuts on each end followed by the wheels with
hub on the inside. Finish with the 5/8” nylock
nuts flush to the ends of the axle. You will
tighten this assembly later.
14. Bolt rear leg gus-
sets loosely to cyclone as
shown.
Put on plastic axle cover after the final
tightening of the nuts
16. Tighten up all bolts on the gussets and
lid brackets while keeping the legs square.
When this is done, tighten up the wheel bolts
on the axle to their final positions.
17. Apply 1/2” gasket around outside of bolt
holes in cyclone top as shown, making sure
there is no gap where ends butt together.

18. Place Blower housing in position so that
the filter outlet is pointed down, opposite the in-
let. Hand start eight 5/16” x 3/4” hex head bolts
with washers, then tighten securely. DO
NOT tighten to over 17 ft. lbs. of torque.
