FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING – To reduce risk of injury

1. Read and understand this instruction manual before installing or operating the air cleaner. Learn the unit's applications, limitations, and specific hazards.
2. To reduce the risk of injury, disconnect the air cleaner from the power source (unplug) before servicing or changing filters.
3. If ceiling mounted, the bottom of the air cleaner must be at least 7 feet above the floor.
4. If ceiling mounted, mounts must be anchored to building structure that will support a minimum of at least 100 pounds. Never mount to surfaces such as dry wall or false ceiling grids, etc.
5. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not expose the air cleaner to water or rain.
6. Never duct a machine directly into the air cleaner.
7. To avoid a potentially dangerous situation, do not use this equipment to filter flammable vapors or smoke. This air cleaner is designed and intended for the filtration of airborne wood dust only. It is neither designed nor intended for any other purpose whatsoever.
8. Failure to comply may result in serious injury and/or property damage.
9. Keep guards in place and in working order.
10. Always wear eye protection.
11. Ground all tools. If the tool is equipped with a three-prong plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole electrical receptacle. If an adapter is used to accommodate a two-prong receptacle, the adapter lug must be attached to a known ground. Never remove the third prong.
12. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
13. Don't use in dangerous environments. Don't use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well-lighted.
14. Keep children and visitors away. All children and visitors should be kept a safe distance from the work area.
15. Make workshop childproof. Use padlocks, master switches, or remove starter keys.
16. Don't force the tool. It will do the job better and be safer at the rate for which it was designed.
17. Use the right tool. Don't force a tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
18. Wear proper apparel. No loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry that could get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
19. Always use safety glasses (must comply with ANSI Z87.1). Everyday eyeglasses only have impact-resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses. Also use a face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.
20. Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It's safer than using your hands and frees both hands to operate the tool.
21. Don't overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
22. Maintain tools in top condition. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
23. Disconnect tools before servicing and when changing filters.
24. Use recommended accessories. The use of accessories and attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may cause hazards or risk of injury to persons.
25. Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the switch is in the "OFF" position before plugging in the power cord.
26. Never stand on the tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the fan blade is accidentally contacted.
27. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to ensure that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
28. Never leave the tool running unattended. Turn power OFF. Don't leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop.
29. Drugs, Alcohol, Medication. Do not operate the tool while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any medication.
30. Make sure the tool is disconnected from the power supply while the motor is being mounted, connected, or reconnected.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This unit is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor, with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes, is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the unit is properly grounded.

Use only three-wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the unit's plug. Canadian electrical codes require extension cords to be certified SJT type or better. Use of an adapter in Canada is not acceptable.

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

This unit is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Figure A below. The unit has a grounding plug that looks like the grounding plug illustrated in Figure A. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Figures B, may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown in Figure B, if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should only be used until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear or tab, extending from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.

CLEANING/CHANGING THE FILTERS

To reduce the risk of injury, disconnect the air cleaner from the power source (unplug) before servicing or changing filters. Failure to comply may cause serious injury! ⚠️

There are two (2) filters that need to be cleaned/changed.

The outer filter can easily be removed by disengaging the spring clamp from the top of the unit (see Fig.2). Now you can simply pull the filters out.

Once removed from the unit, the inner filter (see Fig.4) can now be pulled out of the outer filter. Both filters can be blown out with compressed air. The filters should be replaced depending on the amount of usage and the environment of your shop.

Clogged filters will reduce the amount of air circulation. There is an arrow indicating the air flow direction on the outer filter. Make sure the filter is inserted facing the proper direction. ➡️

Figure Descriptions:

• Fig.2 shows the top of the unit with a spring clamp mechanism for filter removal.
• Fig.3 shows a cylindrical inner filter.
• Fig.4 shows a cylindrical outer filter.

OPTIONAL FILTERS

• Electrostatic outer filter
• Washable electrostatic outer filter
• Inner filter
