Additional Safety for Canister Dust Collectors
6. AVOIDING FIRES.
Do not allow steel to
strike against impeller which may produce
a spark. Sparks can smolder in wood dust
for a long time before fire or flame is detect-
ed. If metal contacts metal during opera-
tion, immediately turn off the dust collector,
unplug the power cord from the outlet or
flip the disconnect switch and wait for all
moving parts to stop. Remove collection
bags and empty the dust into an approved
air tight metal container in case of spark.
Remedy the metal to metal contact problem
before resuming operation.
7.
OPERATIONAL QUESTIONS.
If at any
time you are experiencing difficulties per-
forming the intended operation, stop using
the machine! Then contact our service
department or ask a qualified expert how
the operation should be performed.
8.
DUST HAZARD.
Be aware that certain
woods may cause an allergic reaction
in people and animals, especially when
exposed to fine dust. Make sure you know
what type of wood dust you will be exposed
to in case there is a possibility of an allergic
reaction. Always wear an approved respira-
tor!
1.
MACHINE USE.
Do not use this dust col-
lector to pick up liquids and metal scrap
including, but not limited to, nails and fil-
ings. Metallic debris will contact the spin-
ning impeller and could spark. The spark
could then cause a sawdust explosion or
severe fire hazard. Also, do not pick up
material which cannot safely pass through
the impeller such as solid wood scraps.
2.
KEEPING FINGERS SAFE.
Do not place
your hands or tools near the open inlet dur-
ing operation for any reason including, but
not limited to, unclogging material and test-
ing suction. The impeller could cause seri-
ous damage to body parts if touched while
spinning.
3.
SAFE SERVICING.
Disconnect power and
allow impeller to come to a complete stop
before servicing or working on the dust col-
lector ducting system.
4.
SUSPENDED DUST PARTICLES AND
IGNITION SOURCES
. Do not operate the
dust collector in areas where explosion risks
would be high if dust were dispersed into
the area. Areas of high risk include, but are
not limited to, areas near pilot lights and/or
open flames.
5.
EMPTYING BAGS.
When emptying dust
from the collection bags, wear a respira-
tor and safety glasses. Empty dust into an
approved container and dispose of prop-
erly.
No list of safety guidelines can be com-
plete. Every shop environment is different.
Always consider safety first, as it applies
to your individual working conditions. Use
this and other machinery with caution and
respect. Failure to follow guidelines could
result in serious personal injury, damage to
equipment or poor work results.
DO NOT use the dust collector for any
other purpose besides collecting dust from
connected woodworking machines. A dust
collector should NEVER be used as an air
cleaner. For safest use, wear a respirator
and use an air cleaner in addition to the
dust collector.
