Additional Safety for Air Filters
Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this air filter. Accidents are fre-
quently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. use this machine with respect
and caution to reduce the risk of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or
ignored, serious personal injury may occur.
INTENDED uSE. this air filter is designed to
capture dust from ambient air in a woodwork-
ing shop for a short time after cutting or sanding
operations. do not use this air filter to collect
particles of silica, metal, lead paint, asbestos, or
hazardous bacterium. do not allow this filter
to collect liquids, combustible fumes, burning or
smoking material, or toxic fumes.
HAzARDOuS DuST. dust exposure may cause
cancer, birth defects, or long-term respiratory
damage. Be aware of the dust hazards associated
with each workpiece material, and always wear a
niosh-approved respirator to reduce your risk.
LEAD PAINT DuST AND ASbESTOS FIbERS.
do not try to collect lead paint or asbestos
fibers with this machine. due to the high hazard to
human health, these materials must be collected
with special equipment.
DuST ALLERGIES. dust from certain woods
may cause an allergic reaction in people and ani-
mals. make sure you know what type of wood dust
you will be exposed to in case there is a possibility
of an allergic reaction.
WEAR RESPIRATOR. Fine dust that is too small
to be caught in the filter will be blown into the
ambient air during operation. Wearing a niosh
approved respirator during this time will reduce
your risk of permanent respiratory damage.
EMPTyING DuST. When removing dust from the
filters, turn
OFF the switch, disconnect power, and
wear a respirator and safety glasses. Empty dust
away from ignition sources and into an approved
container.
DIScONNEcTING POWER SuPPLy. turn the
switch
OFF, disconnect the air filter from the
power supply, and allow the impeller to come to
a complete stop before leaving the machine unat-
tended or doing any service, cleaning, mainte-
nance, or adjustments.
REGuLAR cLEANING. For best performance,
regularly check/clean the filters to avoid the
buildup of fine dust. make sure to regularly clean
the surrounding area where the machine is oper-
ated—excessive dust buildup on overhead lights,
heaters, electrical panels, or other heat sources
will increase the risk of fire.
SuSPENDED DuST PARTIcLES AND IGNITION
SOuRcES. do not operate the air filter in areas
where explosion risks are high. Areas of high risk
include, but are not limited to, areas near pilot
lights, open flames, or other ignition sources.
FIRE SuPPRESSION. only operate the air filter
in locations that contain a fire suppression system
or have a fire extinguisher nearby.
IMPELLER HAzARDS. do not place your
hands or tools inside the air filter housing dur-
ing operation for any reason. the powerful suc-
tion could easily cause accidental contact with
the impeller which could cause serious personal
injury or damage to the machine.
OPERATING LOcATION. do not operate the
air filter in rainy or wet locations—exposure to
water may create a shock hazard or decrease the
life of the machine.
