1. IMPORTANT NOTICE
This manual contains important safety information and
precautionary measures. It is impossible to list all
potential hazards associated with every dust collection
system in each application. Proper use of the equipment
must be discussed with United Air Specialists, Inc.
(UAS) or your local DUST-HOG
®
representative.
Operating personnel must be aware of, and adhere to,
the most stringent safety procedures.
1.1 GENERAL CAUTIONS
1. Avoid mixing combustible materials such as
aluminum, paper, wood or other organic dusts with
dusts generated from grinding metals. A fire hazard
could develop from sparks entering the dust
collector. When collecting flammable or explosive
materials, the dust collector should be located
outdoors and incorporate the appropriate safety
measures and/or accessories.
2. When collecting emissions from spark-producing
processes, care must be taken to reduce any potential
fire hazards. System design should include methods
to prevent sparks from entering the dust collector.
Dust collectors do not contain fire extinguishing
equipment unless specifically ordered. Experts in the
field of fire extinguishing equipment should be
consulted for recommendations concerning proper fire
detection and suppression systems.
3. Some dust collection systems require explosion
venting. Consult your insurance underwriter, NFPA
(National Fire Protection Association) Manual and
your local fire authorities to determine the
requirements for explosion venting.
4. Be careful and conscientious — consult national and
local fire codes, waste disposal, safety and other
appropriate authorities. Comply with their
recommendations for the proper installation and
operation of dust collection equipment.
