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. DO NOT operate without lter in place. Debris will cause damage to the motor!
3. THIS UNIT IS NOT RATED FOR USE IN COMBUSTIBLE ENVIRONMENTS.
4. is equipment incorporates parts such as switches, motors or the like that tend to produce arcs or sparks that can cause an explosion.
5. To reduce the risk of Electric Shock, DO NOT use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
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. Air borne 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).
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.
MAKE SURE TO READ AND UNDERSTAND THE INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS AS WELL AS ALL RECOMMENDED SAFETY PRACTICES.

System Start-Up Information (Continued)
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. Check 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

Filter Pulse Bar Cleaning
e Pulse Filter System helps to unclog the lter for improved
airow and performance. If air ow is not restored aer pulsing,
check for clogs and clean lter. (Review Cleaning the Filter and
Troubleshooting Sections).
1. Pulse your lter when the sensor is ashing or when you notice
decreased airow. Frequent pulse cleaning of the lter will keep
your performance optimal.
2. While the unit is running, close the cam and groove tting on
the inlet of the Cyclone using the cap hanging o the inlet. Once
closed, push down the Pulse Bar extending out of the cowling, past
the initial resistance, and hold for a few seconds then release the
Pulse Bar. Repeat Five Times
3. Open cam and groove tting to resume normal operation.
Cleaning the Filter
When performance has decreased and pulsing has not recovered
enough airow then the Filter should be replaced
1. Wear a dust mask and eye protection. Treat your contaminated
lter as you would treat airborne concrete dust.
2. Turn o and unplug the dust extractor and wait for the fan blower
to come to a complete stop and for the dust to settle.
3. Unlatch the Ring Clamp (F) at the base of the motor section and
allow it to hang freely. Remove the motor section carefully, making
sure to not damage the air tting on top of the lter and set aside.
4. Check to make sure lter is in good condition with no torn media
or cracks or tears in the seal, A broken lter can leak material
into the motor and cause severe damage! You cannot operate the
system without a proper lter in place. (See Accessories page for
the replacement lter part.) Operating without a sucient lter will
cause severe damage to the motor and will void the warranty!
Note: To help see damage from the outside, shine a ashlight from the
inside.
5. If the lter is in good condition, you can use a handheld
compressed air nozzle. PER OSHA REGULATIONS: compressed
air cannot be used to clean a lter unless there is a ventilation
system that eectively captures the dust cloud that is created.
6. Seal the inlet using the provided cap attached to the inlet. Ensure a
Longo Cassette is installed correctly, and the bag is sealed at the top
and bottom. is will ensure that any dust being knocked o of the
lter remains contained inside of the cyclone or Longo Use a hand-
held, compressed air nozzle with a pressure between 30 to 60 PSI to
blast air along the lter’s exterior pleating. Hold the air nozzle at a
20 degree angle and at least 6” away from the lter; closer blasts will
damage the lter media. If during this process you see dust in the
air coming from the lter, stop immediately! ere is a hole in
your lter, and it must be replaced.
7. If the lter isn't in good condition, remove the Filter (E) by
removing the four 5/16-18 Nylock Nuts (C) and the Filter Hold-
Down Plate (D) by sliding it over the lter. Dispose of the old
lter in the same way you would dispose of the dust you’ve been
collecting.
8. Center new Filter (E) over the center of the Cyclone (G)and place
the Filter Hold-Down Plate (D) over the Filter (E) and re-secure
using the four 5/16-18 Nylock Nuts (C) Ensure the gasket is
compressed at least 50%. If the gasket is not compressed, dust will
leak past the lter.
9. Replace the motor section, attach the vinyl hose, and re-latch the
drum clamp around the motor section.

Emptying the Bag
When rst using the dust extractor, check the
Cassette (I) regularly to get an idea of how oen it
needs to be emptied.
1. e bag cassette is sealed at one end with a cable tie. Once the bag
starts to ll up, pull it down and new material is drawn from the
cassette to make the bag longer.
2. To make a new bag, pull the material down and seal it at the top
with a cable tie.
3. Add another cable tie above the rst one and cut the bag material
o between the two cable ties.
Cleaning out the Cyclone
If the bag and hopper becomes overlled and the
cone is packed with dust:
1. Wear a dust mask and eye protection.
2. Turn o the CC500 and unplug it. Remove the motor section
carefully, making sure to not damage the air tting on top of
the lter. Remove the 1/4" tubing from the push lock tting on
top of the lter. Remove the lter carefully making sure not to
damage the lter as you're removing it. WARNING: Silica Dust is
dangerous, treat the contaminated lter as you would treat silica
dust.
3. Try to get contents of cone to fall down into hopper and Cassette
(I). Empty Casette (I) and reinstall as directed. Follow directions
under "Cleaning the Filter". If the Cone and Filter are packed so
that dust won't ow down into the Longo Cassette on it's own
then unclamp the motor section and set aside.
4. Remove the lter by removing the four Nylock Nuts (C) and the
Filter Hold-Down Plate.
Note: Review Cleaning the Filter Section for a detailed step by step.
5. e top of the cyclone can now be accessed to allow debris to drop
down into the drum/bin.
