System Start-Up Information
1. Install ductwork completely before operating collector.
a. Seal ductwork with silicone sealant or duct tape.
b. Have dust drum in place and sealed.
2. 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!
3. DO NOT operate without lter in place. Fan blade can cause serious injury.
4. e 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 li the system up.
5. Check amperage draw on motor with all gates open. Current draw should not exceed maximum motor amperage as stated
on motor plate. (Oneida Air Systems is not responsible for damage to motors caused by improper installation, wiring or
failure to follow these directions).
6. is equipment incorporates parts such as switches, motors or the like that tend to produce arcs or sparks that can cause an
explosion.
7. To reduce the risk of Electric Shock, DO NOT use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
8. Exhaust air should not be vented into a wall, a ceiling, or a concealed space of a building.
9. To reduce the risk of injury from moving parts - unplug BEFORE servicing.
 WARNING 
 FIRE HAZARDS 
1. Wood shaping and cutting processes generate wood chips, shavings and dust. ese materials are considered combustible.
Air borne wood dust below 420 microns in size (0.17 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.
Make sure to read and understand the installation and maintenance instructions as well as all
recommended safety practices.

System Start-Up Information (Continued)
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).
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 other types of 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. Personnel should be kept at least 20 . away from unit.
9. Check dust bin for smoldering material frequently and before leaving the shop.
10. 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).
11. 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.
12. is high air volume will dilute the mixture below the lower limit of ammability. Be careful not to generate sparks into the
sanding dust.
13. Empty dust bin and clean lter oen, especially when sanding.
14. DO NOT overload woodworking equipment, especially sanders. Excessive frictional heat can spontaneously ignite dust.
15. 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. Tramp metal when drawn into the collector can spark against ductwork.
e. Check wood stock for old nails and screws which can create red hot metal fragments.
16. Avoid using excessively large wood waste bins.
17. ALWAYS check storage bins for smoldering material before leaving for the day.
18. Electrically ground all equipment and ducting. Static sparks can ignite wood dust. (Avoid using PVC drain pipe.)
19. DO NOT allow accumulation of layers of ne dust on horizontal surfaces (especially overhead lights, electrical boxes and
fuse panels which can ignite dust.)
20. UNPLUG UNIT BEFORE SERVICING OR CLEANING

Before you start, determine which direction you want your filter to hang and which direction
you want your duct work to enter the collector. The fan housing and cyclone barrel bolt holes
are drilled at 45 degree increments; Some orientations are not possible.

2 Orient the Fan Housing (B) so that the molded
“UP” text is visible and facing towards you.
Push the U-Spring Nuts (G4C) onto each of
the holes lining the inside circle of the Fan
Housing, making sure that the U-Spring Nuts
align into the bolt holes of the housing. [FIG.
1] Use a athead screwdriver if necessary, to
pry open the U-Spring Nuts (G4C) to facilitate
installation and use a hammer to tap into
place.
Note: Make Sure the U-Spring Nut (G4C) is
pushed all the way on by checking that the bolt
holes are in alignment with the clip holes and
installed in the correct orientation. Otherwise
you will not get the seal needed for complete
dust collection!
3 Apply Gasket (G4A) making sure that there is
no gap where the ends meet:
a. Apply to the top rim of the Barrel (C)
outside of the bolt holes [FIG. 3a].
b. Apply to the Fan Housing (B) outlet inside
the bolt holes [FIG. 3b].
c. Apply to the top of the Fan Housing (B)
outside the bolt holes and not covering up
the U-Spring Clips (G4C)[FIG. 3c].
d. Apply to the Filter Plate (I2); it may
partially cover the bolt holes. Make sure
that there is enough room for the bolts to
push through [FIG. 3d].
Note: Dust collection systems cannot operate
eectively if there isn’t a complete seal. ere
must be NO air leaks.

OVERTIGHTEN.
7 Li the Fan Housing (B) onto the Barrel (C),
making sure it is oriented so that the molded
“UP” text is visible. Align the housing’s holes
with the holes in the barrel and keep in mind
the direction you want your outlet to face.

If there is insucient clearance for removing
the drum, you may trim the Flex Hose (G2)
using a razor knife and diagonal cutter to cut

Note: Be careful to only remove 0.5” at a time so
as not to over trim.
