System Start-Up Information
1. Do not vacuum anything that is burning or smoking, such as
cigarettes, matches, hot ashes, or any hot substance!
2. Do not vacuum (or use this cyclone near) ammable or combustible
liquids, gases, or explosive dusts, such as gasoline or other fuels,
lighter uid, cleaners, oil-based paints, natural gas, hydrogen, coal
dust, magnesium dust, grain dust, aluminum dust, sugar dust, our
dust or gun powder.
3. To reduce the risk of health hazards from vapors or dusts, do not
vacuum toxic materials unless a HEPA lter is used. Do not use or
store near hazardous materials.
4. Dust can be ammable and explosive. Some dust can be toxic or
cause allergic reactions.
5. Wood dust mixtures are highly ammable and can be explosive.
NEVER introduce sparks or sources of ignition into collector.
a. Empty drum aer each use.
b. Ground system.
6. NEVER leave wood dust in a building or vehicle.
7. Keep re extinguishers handy at all times.
8. Can be used for collecting non-ammable liquids.
9. Dispose of waste in a FIRE SAFE AREA.
READ THE SAFETY PRACTICES INSTALLATION AND
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS AND YOUR WET/ DRY
VACUUM’S OWNER’S MANUAL BEFORE ASSEMBLING
AND USING THE DUST DEPUTY
SOME DUSTS ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE OR
EXPLOSIVE. LEARN/ KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DEALING
WITH. FOLLOW ALL LOCAL, STATE, FEDERAL & NFPA
CODES AND GUIDE LINES.

CAUTION! DISCONNECT VACUUM FROM ELECTRICAL
SOURCE BEFORE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING TESTS
ARE PERFORMED.
Maintaining Grounding Pathways
1. Use only tested anti-static components. Non anti-static hoses, couplers or connectors could
interrupt the anti-static pathway.
2. Make certain that the ground plug in your house wall socket is properly wired and working.
a. e anti-static pathway relies on the ground plug in your outlet to be functional.
b. Do not use two-prong to three-prong adapters, extension cords without a ground prong,
etc.
3. Install the Ultimate Dust Deputy per our instructions. is will ensure the anti-static pathway is
maintained.
4. Verify continuity through the anti-static pathway.
a. Continuity can be checked using a multi-meter that reads in mega ohms (see diagram
below for acceptable values).
b. CAUTION! Make sure that your vacuum is disconnected from any electrical source
before proceeding.
c. Check from end of hose to the earth ground prong on electrical plug.
5. Experiencing any static problems likely means the grounding path is interrupted. Be certain this
is resolved using these instructions or call us for assistance.
This diagram shows the
continuous pathway from the
grounding prong on the electrical
plug to the hose’s inlet.
The inlet of Festool®dust extractors incorporates a connection to the earth ground to provide a safe
discharge pathway for static electricity that may be generated when wood dust moves through hose
or plastic parts. This grounded inlet works in conjunction with anti-static hoses. Oneida wants to make
certain that our Ultimate Dust Deputy®customers understand that there is a grounding pathway that
must be maintained.
Oneida has always used static dissipating components in the Ultimate Dust Deputy. The UDD has been
third-party tested to function as specified.

Assembly Instructions
read the Wire Loops (G4) through the Rubber Latches
(G2) and secure to the Dust Bin (B) as described in the
steps below to ensure proper static grounding [FIG. 1].
a. Push the Rubber Latch (G2) through the main body of
the Wire Loop (G4).
b. read the Wire Loop (G4) back through the circular
hole at the top of the Rubber Latch (G2).
c. read the Wire Loop (G4) back through the long
oblong hole in the Rubber Latch (G2) so the Wire
Loop’s terminal aligns with the latch’s top screw hole.

FAQ
Does the Dust Deputy work with the new Festool CT units
that have the T-Loc system to hold the systainer?
Yes! e Ultimate Dust Deputy is adaptable to all Midi and Mini
Festool vacs. e new vacs do require you to rotate the systainer
box 180 degrees.
Can I use this cyclone with smoldering or abrasive debris?
No. is cyclone is designed for use with light debris such as wood
dust. For applications with highly abrasive or smoldering materials,
we recommend our steel, Heavy-Duty Dust Deputy kits instead.
Will the Dust Deputy cyclone work if my tool has its own fan
blower?
In most cases, yes - but the cyclone's eciency will vary based on
whether your vacuum is also turned on.
e Dust Deputy cyclone needs a consistent airow rate to "spin"
the dust out of the airstream; If your tool's fan blower is pushing air
in while your vacuum is also sucking air out, this can disrupt the
airow rate and reduce the cyclone's separation performance.
In many cases, the fan blower on tools (such as planers) cannot be
turned o. If that is the case for you, try collecting your dust with
the vacuum turned o. In doing so you will be creating a positive
pressure system as the tool's fan blower pushes air through the Dust
Deputy cyclone. is method may not work with every vacuum.

PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
Not separating well.
(Only a tiny amount of
dust should reach the

Air leaks in the drum 1. Check for leaks between the lid and the dust drum.
2. Check for holes or leaks in the dust drum.
3. Check for leaks along the ange of the cyclone.

Collecting large bulky
material
1. Large, bulkier material might swirl. Restart or temporarily cut
o air ow to drop material down.
Low Air Volume System clogged 1. Clean vacuum and the vacuum lter per the manufacturer's
specs.
2. Check all hose connections for a blockage in the hose.
Hose Pulling o Hose connections not
tight
1. Due to the varied hose diameters, exible couplers can
be used.They are available at local hardware stores in the
plumbing section.
2. Use a hose clamp.
3. Wrap the inlet and outlet of the Dust Deputy with a layer of
electrical tape to increase the friction t.
4. Secure hose with a sheet metal screw.
5. Ensure the static grounding pathway is maintained via the use
of conductive tape and/or metal wire.

Troubleshooting Air Leaks
Even a small leak can signicantly aect the overall
separation performance of the cyclone [FIG. 14]. If
you can't audibly pinpoint where the leak might be
coming from, one of the simplest ways to check for air
leaks is with a smoke test. You can usually nd smoke
test kits at any hardware store (typically in the HVAC
section). While the system is running move the smoke
tester around the unit. If at any time you see the
incense smoke being drawn into the system, you’ve
found an air leak that needs to be sealed.

Grounding Accessories
Oneida Air Systems always recommends using static conductive hoses and components
with your cyclonic vacuum system.
If a non-conductive component is used, the grounding pathway must be continued
via Static Conductive Tape (G6) or wire to bridge the gap between the non-conductive
components. By bridging this gap, the anti-static grounding pathway will be maintained
