Woodstock G9975, Instruction Manual

1.

Do not use dust collector for anything except wood dust.

Materials such as liquids, metal shav-

ings, metal dust, screws, glass, plastic or rock can cause sparks when coming into contact with any
part of the collection system. 

2.

Ground your dust collector along all plastic components.

The connection of bare 12 ga. copper

wire on all plastic hoses, fittings and blast gates to all machines will help reduce the occurrence of
static build up and discharge.

3.

Do not place your hands, lumber or tools near inlet opening while machine is running or con-
nected to power.

4.

Always wear a respirator and safety glasses when removing, emptying or replacing collection
bags.  

Secure bags tightly to dust collector to avoid bags from “blowing off”.

5.

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, the
possibility of a allergic reaction and always wear an approved respirator.

6.

If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing the intended operation, stop

using

the machine! Then contact our service department or ask a qualified expert how the operation
should be performed.

7.

Never use tools that are in poor condition.

Inspect dust collector for bent fins, dents, ripped bags

and unusual sounds before connecting machine to power and operating. Correct any problems before
use.

8.

Never allow steel to come into contact with impeller. 

Impact with any hard material may result

in sparks which may cause fire. Be mindful of any situation that results in a risk of fire.

9.

Habits – good and bad – are hard to break

.  Develop good habits in your shop and safety will become

second-nature to you.

15.

Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. 

Before turning the machine on, make it a habit to check that

all adjusting keys and wrenches have been removed.

16.

Use proper extension cord. 

When using an extension cord, make sure it is in good condition. When

extension cord is 100' and less in length, use those that are rated Hard Service (grade S) or better,
and that have a conductor size of 14 A.W.G. A drop in line voltage, loss of power and overheating
can result when using an undersized cord. The extension cord should have a ground wire and ground
plug pin, as well.

17.

Keep proper footing and balance

at all times.

18.

Do not leave machine unattended. 

Wait until it comes to a complete stop before leaving the area.

19.

Perform machine maintenance and care. 

Follow lubrication and accessory attachment instructions

in the manual.

20.

Keep machine away from open flame. 

Operating machines near pilot lights and/or open flames cre-

ates a high risk if dust is dispersed in the area. Dust particles and an ignition source may cause an
explosion. Do not operate the machine in high risk areas, including but not limited to, those men-
tioned above.
