6.1 GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and grounding plug.
The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result in a
risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service person if you are in doubt
as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the
appliance – if it will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
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.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept
the tool's plug.
Repair or replace damaged or worn cord
immediately.
Figure 15
This appliance is intended for use on a circuit having
a nominal rating more than 120 V and is factory-
equipped with a specific electric cord and plug to
permit connection to a proper electric circuit. Make
sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the plug. No
adapter should be used with this appliance. If the
appliance must be reconnected for use on a
different type of electric circuit, the reconnection
should be made by qualified service personnel; and
after reconnection, the appliance should comply
with all local codes and ordinances.
6.2 Extension cords
The use of extension cords is discouraged; try to
position machines near the power source. If an
extension cord is necessary, make sure it is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. Table 2 shows correct size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

7.0 Operations
7.1 Start/stop
Power Indicator Light – The start switch has a
power indicator lamp which is on whenever there is
power connected to the collector, not just when the
machine is running. Do not assume that no light
means there is no power to the machine. If the bulb
is bad, there will be no indication. Always check
before use.
Do not rely that no light means
no power to the machine. Always check for
power first. Failure to comply may cause serious
injury!
Refer to Figure 16:
Start (A) – Press the green start switch.
When power is connected to the machine, the green
light is always on regardless of whether the collector
is running or not.
Stop (B) – Press the red switch to stop.
Reset – If the dust collector stops without pressing
the stop button, as the result of a tripped fuse or
circuit breaker:
1. Press red button (C) to reset.
2. Press green button (A) to restart machine.
