Metal Dust Collector Safety Instructions

1.   Maintenance. 

Make sure the Dust collector is 

turned off and disconnect from the main power 
supply and make sure all moving parts have come to 
a complete stop before any inspection, adjustment 
or maintenance is carried out.

2.  Dust collector Condition. 

Dust collector 

must be maintained for a proper working condition. 
Never operate a Dust collector that has damaged or 
worn parts. Scheduled routine maintenance should 
performed on a scheduled basis.

3.  Inlet Hazard. 

Do not place hands or tools near 

the open inlets during operation for any reason. The 
impeller could cause serious damage to body parts 
if touched while spinning.

4.  Avoiding Entanglement. 

Guards and dust 

bags must be used at all times. Remove loose 
clothing, belts, or jewelry items. Tie up long hair and 
use the correct hair nets to avoid any entanglement 
with the Dust collector.

5.  Understand the machines controls. 

Make 

sure you understand the use and operation of all 
controls.

6.  Power outage. 

In the event of a power failure 

during use of the Dust collector, turn off all switches 
to avoid possible sudden start up once power is 
restored.

7.  Work area hazards. 

Keep the area around 

the Dust collector clean from oil, tools, chips. 
Pay attention to other persons in the area and 
know what is going on around the area to ensure 
unintended accidents.

8.  Hearing protection and hazards. 

Always 

wear hearing protection as noise generated from 
dust collector can cause permanent hearing loss 
over time.

9.  Dust Collector use. 

This Dust Collector is 

designed to be used with Metal only. Do not pick 
up material that can not safety pass through the 
impeller.

10.  Fire Hazard. 

Ensure machines and hoses only 

connect with smooth-walled, sheet-metal ducting, 
to minimize static electrical charge. Ensure the 
dust extraction hose used is heat resistant and 
flame retardant and a minimum length of 2 meters 
between machine and dust collector. DO NOT use 
PVC pipe. If using ducting, the system must be 
sealed and grounded. Fine metal dust particles 
can ignite, depending on material type and 
circumstances. Be educated and prepared to fight 
a combustible metal fire. Keep the dust collector 
away from pilot lights, open flames, or other 
ignition sources. NEVER use near chemical fumes 
or within an enclosed spray booth.

11.  Bags & guards. 

All safety bags and guards 

must be used at all times. Bags must be replaced 
when damaged.

12.  Emptying bags hazard. 

Always wear a 

respirator and safety glasses when emptying dust 
into approved containers and dispose of properly.

13.  Know When to Change Filters. 

A simple 

but important safety requirement is to change 
filters when airflow through the system reaches a 
reduced pressure. Filter changing is also necessary 
when the pressure drop across the collector 
is affecting the ability of the system to capture 
dust, allowing it to escape into the atmosphere. 
Some cartridge filters can operate longer between 
changes. However, for heavy dust-loading 
applications, filter replacement might be much 
more frequent.

14.  Toxic Materials. 

Care should be taken not to 

expose operators to certain types of metal dusts or 
fumes that can result in serious, potentially deadly 
health effects. To reduce this risk, investigate the 
toxicity of metal types you work with and always 
seek to minimize or eliminate exposure to the 
operator and other bystanders.

15.  Call for help. 

If at any time you experience 

difficulties, stop the machine and call you nearest 
branch service department for help.
