a. There is a very high speed blower wheel inside of
the blower housing that can amputate fingers and
grab loose clothing or neckties.
b. There is also a very high speed cooling fan on the
top of the motor that must be avoided for the

11. This unit is heavier than the legs it sits on and can
be overturned if not placed on a clean, flat, level sur-
face. The holes provided in each foot should be used
to anchor the dust collector to the floor.
Never
install any casters or movable platform to the
feet.
12.
These dust collectors are very heavy.
Do not
attempt to lift this unit in any way without the use of
an approved lifting devise such as a hoist, lift truck
or crane. Lifting this unit by hand can cause a severe
back injury.
13.
These dust collectors should not be used to col-
lect both saw dust
and
metal dust
. Hot metal
embers or chips could ignite saw dust in the drums
below the cyclone and/or dust bag. Any used or
reclaimed wood should be checked for hidden or
embedded metal nails, screws or fasteners before
machining to eliminate any metal pieces going into
the drums with any wood dust. This type wood
should first be checked with a magnet.
