Electrical Connections
WARNING
All electrical connections must be done by a
qualified electrician. All adjustments or
repairs must be done with the dust collector
disconnected from the power source,
unplugged. Failure to comply may result in
serious injury!
The DC-1100C dust collector is rated at
115/230V, Prewired 115V. Use a plug and
outlet rated at least 20 amps. The circuit for the
machine should also be protected by at least a
20 amp circuit breaker or fuse. Keep in mind
that a curcuit being used by other machines,
tools, lights, heaters, etc. at the same time will
add to the electrical load. A dedicated curcuit to
the dust collector will give you the best results
since dust collectors are generally used at the
same time other tools are running.
Before hooking up to the power source, make
sure that the switch is in the off position.
Turning the Machine On & Off
Before hooking up to the power source, make
sure that the switch is in the off position.
The dust collector can be turned on by pressing
the start button mounted next to the motor.
Press the stop button to turn off the dust
collector.
