CAUTION

APPLICATION OF DUST CONTROL EQUIPMENT:

• Special care must be exercised in the use

of dust collection equipment when
combustible material, such as buffing lint,
paper, wood dust, aluminum, and

magnesium dust are present. These

materials may present a fire or explosion
hazard. A prudent user of Amada
equipment should consult and must

comply with all National and Local Fire

Codes and/or other appropriate codes
when determining the location and
operation of dust collection equipment.

• Under no conditions should anyone,

including the machine operator, allow

burning objects or lit cigarettes to enter
the hood or ducting of any dust control

system.

• Avoid mixing combustible materials with

dust generated from grinding of ferrous

metals due to the potential fire hazard
caused by sparks being pulled into the
dust collection equipment.

• When collection equipment is used to

collect flammable or explosive dusts, the
dust collection equipment should be

located outside the building. Also, an

installer of fire extinguishing equipment,

familiar with the type of fire hazard and
local fire codes, should be consulted for
recommendations and installation of the

proper fire extinguishing equipment.

Amada equipment does NOT contain
fire extinguishing equipment.

• Explosion relief vents are required on

some applications. Consult with an
insurance underwriter or a NFPA

Manual to determine proper vent sizing
requirements. Vents installed   on dust

collection equipment must relieve to the
outside of the building to minimize

chances of a secondary explosion.
Consult the proper authority to

determine proper method of venting the
dust collection equipment. Amada

equipment does NOT contain explosion
relief vents, except on special order.

• To insure optimum collector

performance, always use Torit
