2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and working order.
3. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION.
4. 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.
5. KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
6. DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp locations, or expose them to rain. Keep the work area well-lighted.

This NEW machine is so SMART it will clean the air in your shop without you even thinking about it. This unit was the first in the industry with the SMART auto sensor, remote control, timer and three speeds will quickly become the industry standard.

FEATURES

• The Patent pending SMART™ Auto Dust Sensor will automatically turn the machine on and off when it senses the dust levels in the air.
• A two-Filter System with an Air Diffuser disperses outgoing air into a broader pattern.
• Disposable Electrostatic Outer Filter attracts more dust particles than standard filters.
• The inner Pocket Filter is removable for easy cleaning.
• The Folding Handle allows easy portability of the unit.
• Remote Control has a built-in timer with a 1-12 hour setting; automatically shuts the system off at the end of the time setting.
• Fully-Enclosed Ball Bearing Motor with Overload Protection for long, dependable service.

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 tool 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 under 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 tool is properly grounded.
• Use only three-wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug*.
• Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
• This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Figure A below. The tool has a grounding plug that looks like the grounding plug as illustrated in Figure A below. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Figure B below, 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-coloured rigid ear or tab, extending from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.

• Canadian electrical codes require extension cords to be certified SJT type or better.
• The use of an adapter in Canada is not acceptable.

For Your Safety

1. Read and understand the instruction manual before installing or operating an air cleaner.
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 the building structure which will support a minimum of at least 100 pounds. Never mount to surfaces such as drywall or false ceiling grids, etc.
5. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not expose 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 vapours or smoke. This air cleaner is designed and intended for the filtration of air-borne wood dust only. It is neither designed nor intended for any other purpose whatsoever.
