21. EACH AND EVERY TIME, CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS PRIOR TO USING THE TOOL. Carefully check all guards to see that they operate properly, are not damaged, and perform their intended functions. Check for alignment, binding or breaking of moving parts. A guard or other part that is damaged should be immediately repaired or replaced.

22. DO NOT OPERATE TOOLS WHILE TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, MEDICATION OR ALCOHOL.

23. SECURE ALL WORK. Use clamps or jigs to secure the workpiece. This is safer than attempting to hold the workpiece with your hands.

24. STAY ALERT, WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING, AND USE COMMON SENSE WHEN OPERATING A POWER TOOL. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

25. ALWAYS WEAR A DUST MASK TO PREVENT INHALING DANGEROUS DUST OR AIRBORNE PARTICLES, including wood dust, crystalline silica dust and asbestos dust. Direct particles away from face and body. Always operate tool in a well-ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust collection system wherever possible. Exposure to the dust may cause serious and permanent respiratory or another injury, including silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid breathing the dust, and avoid prolonged contact with dust. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes, or lay on your skin may promote absorption of harmful material. Always use properly fitting NIOSH/OSHA-approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap and water.

26. USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD IN GOOD CONDITION. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. The table on the following page shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate amperage rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the larger diameter of the extension cord. If in doubt of the proper size of an extension cord, use a shorter and thicker cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in a loss of power and overheating. USE ONLY A 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD THAT HAS A 3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUG AND A 3-POLE RECEPTACLE THAT ACCEPTS THE TOOL’S PLUG.

DUST HAZARDS AND SAFETY

GROUNDING THE DUCTWORK
Dust particles moving through flexible or rigid plastic ductwork can cause static electricity build-up. The ductwork must be properly grounded to ensure that static discharge does not ignite fine dust particles causing an explosion or fire.
To properly ground plastic ductwork, simply run a small gauge bare copper wire through the ducting and have it emerge from the hose at the dust collector and at each dust-producing machine. The bare copper wire should be bonded to the metal shell of each machine by means of a metal screw. The screw must be threaded into the metal shell to ensure a good connection.
The grounding of metal ductwork is similar, the only difference is that there is no need to run the bare copper wire inside the ducting. It can be wrapped along the outside of the ducting and should be bonded to each machine as described above.

   – Check the power cord and plug for any wear or damage.
   – Check for any loose screws or hardware.
   – Check the area to make sure it is clear of any misplaced tools, lumber, cleaning supplies, etc. that could hamper the safe operation of the machines being used.

2. To avoid a build-up of wood dust, regularly clean all parts of your machines using a soft cloth, brush, or compressed air. General cleaning should be done after every use to avoid future problems and ensure the machines are in ready condition for the next time that they are used.
   WARNING : If blowing sawdust, wear proper eye protection to prevent debris from blowing into your eyes.

3.  Check the ductwork and hoses to make sure that there are no loose connections. Making sure that they are in proper operating condition will ensure that the dust collection will be the best possible.

4. Clean the upper filtering bag, or canister, on a regular basis to prevent the build-up of dust for better dust collection and air filtration. Check for abrasion, tears or damage.
   WARNING : Always wear a dust mask or respirator while emptying the collector bags or cleaning the dust collector. Please refer to the California Proposition 65 warning on page 6 of this manual regarding hazards from exposure to wood dust.

5. The motor does not need any maintenance as it is equipped with sealed, lubricated ball bearings.
