3.3 Additional Safety Instructions
Additional safety for dust collectors
Intended use. This dust collector is only intended for collecting wood dust and chips from woodworking machines. Do not use this dust collector to collect metal, dirt, pebbles, drywall, asbestos, lead paint, silica, liquids, aerosols, or any flammable, combustible, or hazardous materials.
Hazardous dust. Dust created while using machinery may cause cancer, birth defects, or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards associated with each work piece material, and always wear a NIOSHapproved respirator to reduce your risk.
Dust allergies. Dust from certain woods may cause an allergic reaction in people and animals. 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. Always wear a NIOSHapproved respirator during operation and for a short time after to reduce your risk of permanent respiratory damage.
Emptying dust. When emptying dust from the collection container, 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 dust collector from the power supply, and allow the impeller to come to a complete stop before leaving the machine unattended or doing any service, cleaning, maintenance, or adjustments.
Suspended dust particles and ignition sources. Do not operate the dust collector in areas were 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 dust collector in locations that contain a fire suppression system or have a fire extinguisher nearby.
Impeller hazards. Do not place your hands or tools near the open inlet during operation for any reason. The powerful suction could easily cause accidental contact with the impeller, which will cause serious personal injury or damage to the machine. Always keep small animals and children away from open dust collection inlets.
Avoiding sparks. Do not allow steel or rocks to strike the impeller—this may produce sparks. Sparks can smolder in wood dust for a long time before a fire is detected. If you accidentally cut Into wood containing tramp metal (nails, staples, spikes, etc.), immediately turn off the dust collector, disconnect it from power, and wait for the impeller to stop—then empty the collection container into an approved airtight metal container.
Operating location. To reduce respiratory exposure to fine dust, locate permanently installed dust collectors away from the working area, or in another room that is equipped with a smoke detector. Do not operate the dust collector in rainy or wet locations—exposure to water may create a shock hazard or decrease the life of the machine.
Static electricity. Plastic dust lines generate high amounts of static electricity as dust chips pass through them. Although rare, sparks caused by static electricity can cause explosions or fire. To reduce this risk, make sure all dust lines are thoroughly grounded by using a grounding wire.
Regular cleaning. Regularly check/empty the collection bags or drum to avoid the buildup of fine dust that can increase the risk of fire. Make sure to regularly clean the surrounding area where the machine is operated— excessive dust buildup on overhead lights, heaters, electrical panels, or other heat sources will increase the risk of fire.
Warning : If precautions are not heeded, it may result in minor injury and/or possible machine damage. Warning: If precautions are not heeded, it may result in serious injury or possibly even death.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Refer to them often and use them to instruct others.

Note that the head of the Philip bolt must be inserted from the handle with the hex nut and washer on the inside of the drum.Step 25. Take the Octagon drum front and back panels and assemble by securing with (12) M4 x 12mm sheet metal screws.

Step 26. One the left and right side you will find three bolt holes. Take the matching side plate and secure to the outside of the panel using (6) 1/4” x 1/2” carriage bolts, (6) 1/4” flat washers and (6) 1/4” hex nuts. Insert the head of the carriage bolt from the inside of the drum with the washers and nuts on the outside of the drum.

Step 27. Secure the Octagon base panel to the bottom of the drum using (22) M5 Sheet metal screws to secure tightly, make sure the head of the sheet metal screw is on the outside of the drum. Take the plastic bolt end caps to cover all the bolt ends on the inside of the Octagon drum base.
This step is necessary to prevent any injuries caused by the sharp end of the bolts.

Step 28. Once completing the assembly, keep the drum laying on its side to apply silicone (not included) to the inside of the drum, including the base and the top rim of the drum before the rubber seal has been attached to seal and prevent air leakages. You will need to use a caulking gun (not supplied).Step 29. Attach the rubber gasket to the top inner edges of the Octagon drum. The wider end of the gasket goes up. Use tin snips to trim any excess rubber gasket after completing the seal.

Step 30. Insert the plastic debris collection bag inside the Octagon drum.
Open and spread out the plastic bag to the corners and edges.Step 31. Use (24) Round head Philips bolts 3/16”x1/2” and (24) Cap nut 3/16” to assemble the drum insert together. Place the drum insert inside over the plastic bag in the Octagon drum.

Step 32. Lift the foot pedal bar. Align the Octagon drum window to the center point of the drum lid and push the drum in. Lower the foot pedal bar to seal the drum tight for normal machine operation.

Step 33.Make sure when aligning the drum that both the left and right-side lift plates are over the topping on the foot pedal bar assembly before lifting the foot peddle bar up. When not aligned, the drum will not be fully sealed and will interfere with the air flow.

Step 34. Using the white plastic pin, insert the sharp point into the top end of the proximity sensor that is on top of the drum lid. You will find a small hole to on top where you can turn clockwise or counterclockwise.

• Clockwise: Lowers dust waste level in drum (Less full drum).
• Counterclockwise: Increases dust waste level in drum (Fuller drum).

Step 35. Install the intake splitter 6” by 4” x 2 ports to the intake using (3) M4 x 12mm sheet metal screws. Attach the rubber caps to each 4” port.

Step 36. All the assembly steps have been completed.

Maintenance procedures

CLEANING THE FILTER
This PFLUX1 is equipped with auto clean every 10 minutes for 10 seconds one direction and another 10 seconds the other direction. The cleaning will continue for one cycle (10 seconds clockwise, 10 seconds counterclockwise when you shut the machine off. While the canister is cleaning the yellow LED light on the control panel will illuminate showing that it is in the process of cleaning.
There is a HEPA filter replacement indicator, which is the same yellow LED light as the cleaning one. This is based on a timer system and when 2000 hours of running is reached, the light indication would be flash constantly in one long, two short intervals meaning the HEPA filter would need to be replaced.
Pressing the REMOTE button five times will reset the flashing light.
To ensure proper operation of this Mobile Dust Cyclone, the HEPA canister filter must have adequate air flow. This means the filter must be regularly maintained by carefully blowing the filter clean using compressed air and an air gun to release built-up particulates trapped between the filter pleats.

CAUTION DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
For heavy duty users, it is recommended to use compressed air on a weekly basis to maintain maximum filtration efficiency and longer life span of the filter.

1. Keep your cyclone switched on and operating; open both sides of the Canister filter shield doors. Connect the Ø4” flex hose from the cyclone to the Ø4” hook up on the canister end cap.
2. While the cyclone is collecting the dust from inside the canister end cap; use compressed air and an air gun and blow the outer surface of the canister.
3. After cleaning the filter with the compressed air gun, follow the steps in the next section to remove the end cap to empty out any dust left inside.

EMPTYING THE CANISTER END CAP

Periodically check the canister end cap, if it is more than one third full, it is recommended that you empty it.
NOTE: If the canister end cap gets too full, the dust particulates may be recirculated back into the canister filter obstructing air flow and exposing the user to potentially harmful particulates.

1. Release the (4) latches around the canister end cap to remove.
2. Empty and re-attach using the latches.

EMPTYING THE DRUM
Periodically inspect the contents of the drum and empty as needed. To inspect the contents of the drum:

1. Raise the drum foot peddle bar to lower the drum to the floor.
2. Roll it away from the machine, inspect and empty as needed.

ROUTINE INSPECTION
It is a good idea to routinely inspect any quality woodworking tool in order to keep it in optimum condition. This includes inspecting all hardware for tightness, ensuring the filter is clean, and cleaning debris and grime from any surfaces and moving parts.

HEPA FILTER REPLACMENT
To maintain safe, clean air quality, the HEPA filter should be replaced after 2000 hours of operation (e.g., 8 hours/day x 250 days = 2,000 hours).
Contact your dealer or Laguna Tools for a replacement HEPA filter. If your model has a “change filter indicator light” it will flash at 2,000 hours. Replace HEPA filter. To reset flashing light, press the “Remote” button on the Control Panel 5 times.
CAUTION DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

REMOVING THE CANISTER FILTER
