NOTE: The use of an adaptor plug is illegal in some areas, including
Canada. Check your local codes. If you have any doubts or if the
supplied plug does not correspond to your electrical outlet, consult a
qualified electrician before proceeding.
CIRCUIT CAPACITY
Make sure that the wires in your circuit are capable of handling the
amperage draw from your machine, as well as any other machines that
could be operating on the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a
qualified electrician. If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows regularly,
your machine may be operating on a circuit that is close to its amperage
draw capacity. However, if an unusual amperage draw does not exist and
a power failure still occurs, contact a qualified technician or our service
department.
EXTENSION CORDS
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with your machine, use
only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plug and a
matching 3 pole receptacle that accepts the tool's plug. Repair or replace a
damaged extension cord or plug immediately.
Make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on the motor
I.D. plate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. The accompanying chart shows the correct
size extension cord to be used based on cord length and motor I.D. plate
amp rating.

When in doubt use the larger gauge. A smaller gauge number indicates a
higher capacity cable.
SAFETY RULES
SPECIFIC TO THIS DUST COLLECTOR
● Never pick up metal, glass or water.
CAUTION: This dust extractor is not suitable for picking up hazardous

● Do not pick up any material that is burning or smouldering such as
metal grinding dust, cigarette ends, matches, etc.
● Never try to move the dust extractor by the cordset.
● Never use the dust extractor without the cartridge filter assembled.
● Always switch the machine off before changing filters and emptying the
dust collection drum.
● Regularly inspect the filters for damage. Replace damaged filters.
Regularly check that the filter cartridge and filter bag are properly
sealed and fitted.
● Regularly check that the motor housing is secured to the dust collection
drum by the locking strap.
● Always wear personal protection equipment such as a dust mask,
safety glasses and ear muffs.
● When emptying filter bag or dust collection drum, be careful not to
