CX418 DUST COLLECTOR
GROUNDING (Optional)
Craftex
offers an OPTIONAL grounding system with the
CX418 to decrease the shock hazard (although extremely
rare). The sawdust being collected becomes very dry as it
travels through the collection pipes or tubes and as it
spins through the system it creates a static charge. If this
is not grounded, it could give the tool operator a static
shock. Although the electrical shock is extremely minor, it
may have consequences to some individuals.
Grounding Kit Model # W1053
The grounding of the pipes or tubes will help eliminate the
possibility of these shocks. The copper wire included with
the grounding kit should be connected to the steel
chassis of the dust collector and fed through a small hole
made in the tubing or pipe. The wire should then be fed to
the tool being used and grounded to the steel chassis.
Should there be more than one tool connected (through
gates) to the CX418, they should all be grounded as
described above.
For more information in regards to this, you may refer to
the ‘Dust Collection Basics’ book, model W1050. This
book covers all topics in regards to home dust collection
for the workshop.
