Do you have a question about the King Industrial KC-8150C and is the answer not in the manual?
This document serves as an instruction manual for King Industrial Cyclone Dust Collectors, specifically detailing the KC-8150C, KC-8200C, and KC-8300C models. These devices are designed for collecting dust, primarily from woodworking applications, to maintain a clean and safe work environment.
The King Industrial Cyclone Dust Collector operates by drawing in airborne dust and debris through an intake housing, separating larger particles in a cyclone funnel, and then filtering finer dust through a canister filter. The separated larger debris collects in a drum, while the finer dust is captured in a canister filter dust bag. This two-stage collection system is designed to efficiently remove dust from the air, preventing it from accumulating in the workspace and reducing potential health hazards. The motor powers a high-speed fan blade within the blower housing, creating the necessary suction. The system is equipped with a magnetic switch for operation and an emergency stop button for safety. Remote control functionality is also provided for convenient operation.
The cyclone dust collectors are designed for ease of use and safety in a workshop setting. Before operation, users are instructed to ensure proper assembly, including securing all components like wheels, columns, drum lid supports, and the main impeller housing. The drum lid handle assembly and drum pressure hose are integral to the drum's functionality, ensuring proper sealing and pressure monitoring. The canister filter and its dust bag are crucial for effective filtration, with specific instructions for installation and maintenance.
Electrical connection is a critical aspect of usage. The KC-8150C model requires a 110V-120V, 1 phase, 20 Amp electrical supply, while the KC-8200C and KC-8300C models require a 220V-240V, 1 phase, 20 Amp and 30 Amp electrical supply, respectively. Proper grounding is emphasized to prevent electrical shock or fire. Users are warned against using two-prong adaptors and are advised to consult an electrician if unsure about their electrical circuit. The use of extension cords is discussed, with guidelines on appropriate wire gauges to minimize power loss, especially for longer cords.
Operation of the dust collector is straightforward, primarily controlled by a magnetic switch located on the left column. This switch includes an "ON" button and an "Emergency Twist OFF (Stop)" button. To reset the switch and turn the machine on, the emergency stop button must first be pushed in and then twisted clockwise until it pops out. A remote control is also provided for convenient wireless operation, allowing users to turn the machine "On" or "Off" from a distance, provided the emergency stop button on the magnetic switch is disengaged.
Safety is paramount during operation. Users are reminded to always wear safety glasses and a dust mask, especially when the operation is dusty. The blower housing contains a high-speed fan blade, and users are cautioned against operating the machine without all parts in place to prevent injury. The device is intended for picking up wood materials only, with explicit warnings against vacuuming metal shavings, water, or other parts, as well as flammable or combustible liquids, gases, or explosive dusts. The importance of keeping the work area clean, clear of traffic, and well-lit is also highlighted. Children and unauthorized visitors should be kept at a safe distance from the operating machine.
Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of the cyclone dust collector. Key maintenance tasks include:
