MAINTENANCE

General

MAKE SURE that your machine is

unplugged during all maintenance

procedures! If this warning is ignored,

serious personal injury may occur.

For optimum performance from your machine, follow this

maintenance schedule and refer to any specific instruc-

tions given in this section.

Daily Check:

• Loose mounting bolts.

• Worn switch.

• Worn or damaged wires.

• Full collection bag.

• Any other unsafe condition.

Always empty the collection bags on a regular basis.

Emptying the collection bags allows the machine to

operate at a much higher level of efficiency. To limit your

exposure to dust particles, we recommend that you tie

off the bag and dispose of it.

Always wear the appropriate respirator or dust mask

and safety glasses when emptying or disposing of the

collection bags. Small dust particles can escape the bags

during emptying, causing them to become airborne and

easily inhaled. This microscopic airborne dust is extremely

unhealthy to breathe and can cause serious health

problems.

While this dust collector excels at collecting the majority

of wood dust produced by your machines, it is not

an air filter; therefore, we strongly recommend the

supplemental aid of a shop air filter such as the Shop Fox

W1830. Air filters are designed to collect the smaller dust

particles that dust collector bags cannot trap.

Cleaning & Protecting

Since all bearings are shielded and permanently lubri-

cated, simply leave them alone until they need to be

replaced. Do not lubricate them.

To reduce the risk of eye injury and

long-term respiratory damage, always

wear safety glasses and a respirator

while operating this machine.
