GENERAL SAFETY RULES
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Avoid accidental start-ups. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position before connecting the plug to a
power source or carrying the tool.
2. Check power tool for damaged parts. Check for misalignment of moving parts, jamming, breakage, improper
mounting, or any other conditions that may affect the tool’s operation. Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn ON/OFF. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced before use.
3. Do not force the tool to do a job for which it was not designed. Use the correct power tool and accessories and
follow the instructions for your application to prevent hazardous situations.
4. Remove adjustment tools. Always make sure all adjustment tools or wrenches are removed from the tool before
turning on the power tool.
5. Keep guards in place and in working order before operating the tool. All protection and safety devices must be
in place after completing repair and maintenance procedures.
6. Never leave a running tool unattended. Do not leave the tool until it has come to a complete stop.
POWER TOOL MAINTENANCE
1. Always disconnect the power cord plug from the electrical outlet when making adjustments, changing parts, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
2. Maintain power tools properly. Safely store power tools out of the reach of children. Always keep tools clean and
in good working order. Only have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replace-
ment parts. Use of any other part can cause personal injury and damage to the tool.
SPECIFIC RULES FOR DUST COLLECTORS
1. This dust collector is intended only for collecting wood dust and chips from woodworking machines. Do not use
dust collector for anything except wood dust. Material such as liquids, aerosols, metal dust, screws, glass, plastic or
rock can cause sparks when coming into contact with any part of the collection system.
2. 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.
3. Dust created while using machinery may cause cancer, birth defects, or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware
of dust hazards associated with each workpiece materials, and always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator.
4. Do not place your hands, lumber or tools near the inlet opening while machine is plugged in or during operation.
Keep animals and children away from open dust collection inlets.
5. Regularly check and empty the collection bags to avoid the buildup of fine dust that can increase the risk of fire.
Regularly clean the surrounding area of the machine. Ecessive dust buildup on heat sources such as overhead lights
and electrical panels will increase the risk of fire.
6. Always wear respirator and safety glasses when removing, emptying or replacing collection bags. Empty dust away
from ignition sources and into a suitable container.
