System Start-Up Information
1. Install ductwork/ex hose completely before operating collector.
a. Seal ductwork with silicone sealant or duct tape if leaks are found.
b. Have dust drum in place and sealed.
2. THIS UNIT IS NOT RATED FOR USE IN COMBUSTIBLE ENVIRONMENTS.
3. is equipment incorporates parts such as switches, motors or the like that tend to produce arcs or sparks that can cause an
explosion.
4. Operating without the lter can blow debris around and cause injury.
5. To reduce the risk of Electric Shock, DO NOT use on wet surfaces and have adequate protection outdoors. It is the buyer’s
responsibility to follow all applicable federal, state, local, OSHA, NFPA, or authorities having jurisdiction codes and
regulations when installing and operating this dust collector.
6. Exhaust air should not be vented into a wall, a ceiling, or a concealed space of a building.
7. To reduce the risk of injury from moving parts - unplug BEFORE servicing.
8. Ensure that your dust collector is turned o and unplugged during installation.
9. Use this equipment for dry material collection only. DO NOT use for liquid collection.
 WARNING 
 FIRE HAZARDS 
1. Wood shaping and cutting processes generate wood chips, shavings and dust. ese materials are considered combustible.
Airborne wood dust below 420 microns in size (0.017 of an inch) in certain concentration ranges when ignited can
deagrate (burn quickly). An ignition source such as a spark or ember can ignite a dust mixture resulting in an expanding
ame front, which can cause an explosion if tightly contained. A disturbance that raises a cloud of accumulated ne dust can
raise additional dust clouds, which can cause a series of explosions that can level an entire building. Until this type of re has
been witnessed, it is dicult to believe the devastation. is type of re is rare but worth safeguarding against.
2. e best way to avoid a wood shop re is to keep the shop clean. A shop ankle deep in dust with layers of ne dust
everywhere is an accident waiting to happen. A good dust collection system reduces overall re hazards but also adds new
concerns. A re hazard is still present. Combustible material is now in the dust collector and storage container.
3. e following points are worth heeding:
a. It is the buyer’s responsibility to follow all applicable federal, state, local, OSHA, NFPA, or authorities having jurisdiction
codes and regulations when installing and operating this dust collector.
b. Fire Marshals may want the unit located outside of the building. If the collector is located inside the facility, controls
such as spark detection, suppression, or explosion venting may be required.
c. Most local jurisdictions consult or adopt NFPA (National Fire Protection Agency) codes. However, other codes may
apply. Local codes may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
d. NFPA664 Code book, “Standard for the Prevention of Fires and Explosions in Wood Processing and Woodworking
Facilities”, applies to woodworking operations that occupy areas of more than 5,000 sq. . or to areas where dust
producing equipment requires an aggregate dust collection ow rate of more than 1,500 cfm (cubic feet per minute).
MAKE SURE TO READ AND UNDERSTAND THE INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS AS WELL AS ALL RECOMMENDED SAFETY PRACTICES.

System Start-Up Information (Continued)
is exempts some small operators from the NFPA code 664, but other codes may apply in your jurisdiction. Consult
your local Fire Marshal for help. Additional information can be found in NFPA Code Book 664.
4. e customer assumes the responsibility for contacting their insurance underwriter regarding specic application
requirements of explosion venting or if additional re protection and safety equipment may be required.
5. DO NOT use this product to collect ammable dust or ammable vapors! - Fire or explosion may occur!
6. NEVER collect sparks from a bench grinder into a wood dust collector.
7. NEVER introduce sparks or sources of ignition into the dust collector.
8. Check dust bin frequently for smoldering material and before leaving the shop.
9. Keep portable re extinguishers handy.
a. e ABC type (dry chemical) is generally a good choice for small wood shops.
b. Additional information on portable extinguishers can be found in NFPA 10 (Standard for Portable Fire Extinguishers).
10. Be especially careful with sanding units. ey can produce concentrations of dust in the combustible range. Make certain
enough air volume is at the suction point to capture all the particulate generated.
11. is high air volume will dilute the mixture below the lower limit of ammability. Be careful not to generate sparks into the
sanding dust.
12. Empty dust bin and clean lter oen, especially when sanding.
13. DO NOT overload woodworking equipment, especially sanders. Excessive frictional heat can spontaneously ignite dust.
14. Sparks can be generated in several ways:
a. High speed sanders and abrasive planers may strike foreign material.
b. Saws and edgers may strike foreign material and create a red-hot metal fragment.
c. Knots in hardwood can create frictional sparks.
d. Trapped metal when drawn into the collector can spark against ductwork.
e. Wood stock for old nails and screws which can create red hot metal fragments.
15. Avoid using excessively large wood waste bins.
16. ALWAYS check storage bins for smoldering material before leaving for the day.
17. Electrically ground all equipment and ducting. Static sparks can ignite wood dust. (Avoid using PVC drain pipe.)
18. DO NOT allow accumulation of layers of ne dust on horizontal surfaces (especially overhead lights, electrical boxes and
fuse panels which can ignite dust).
19. UNPLUG UNIT BEFORE SERVICING OR CLEANING.

The flex hose connects the cyclone to the dust bin below and only requires enough height to
allow the lid to be lifted from the bin. You may shorten the provided 1’hose length as needed.

14 Attach Hose (E) to the Cone’s (C) discharge,
and secure it in place with a Clamp Band (D).
[FIG. 14]
Note: e hose is a snug t. Pull ends up little
by little to work the hose onto the cyclone’s
discharge. Pliers can be used to grab the
reinforcing wire and aid in pulling the hose over
the opening.
Position the Drum (G) and Lid (F) under
the Cone and repeat the process to attach
the opposite end of the Hose onto the Lid's
collared inlet using Clamp Band (D).
Unclamp the Lid and test to see if the Drum is
easy to remove from underneath the Cone.
If there is insucient clearance for removing
the Drum, you may trim the Hose using a
razor knife and diagonal cutter to cut through
the clear lining and reinforcing wire.
Note: Be careful to only remove 0.5" at a time so
as not to over trim.
