Make sure that the trigger is in the off-position and unplug the tool from its
electrical outlet before performing any procedure in this section.
Workpiece and Work area Set up
1. Designate a work area that is clean and well lit.
The work area must not allow access by children
or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
2. Route the power cord along a safe route to reach
the work area without creating a tripping hazard or
exposing the power cord to possible damage. The
power cord must reach the work area with enough
extra length to allow free movement while working.
Vacuum Operation
tO prEVEnt SEriOuS inJury FrOM acciDEntaL OpEratiOn:
turn the Switch off and unplug the power cord from its electrical outlet before removing the power Head.
Do not tamper with or remove the grounding pole on the plug. you must use
this unit with a 3 pole receptacle. if you use an extension cord, it must meet
amperage specified (16 aWG), and the cord must be 3-pronged.
This unit is designed for use with an existing dust
system, or you can construct a new system.
1. If constructing a new system, connect 4" vent pipe
(not included) to the 4" inlet side of the collector.
2. Determine the size of the dust ports on your
tools and run vacuum hoses from each
tool to an appropriate sized adapter, and
into the 4" vent pipe (none included).

cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. Table A shows
the 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.
4. Make sure that the Switch is in its off position.
Plug the Power Cord into the power outlet.
5. Turn the switch on to operate the Dust Collector.
6. Make sure the Collection Bag (37)
is on tight and not leaking.
7. During operation, periodically check how full
the Collection Bag is. Do not let it fill more
than 3/4 full. A completely full bag puts a
lot of stress on the bag and the clamp.
8. To change Collection Bag, wear ANSI-approved
safety goggles, and a dust mask. Turn Dust
Collector off, remove the Filter Clamp (31), and
empty the bag. Reinstall the bag and clamp.
9. To prevent accidents, turn off the appliance and
unplug it after use.
Empty and clean Bags, clean Filter
(see cleaning Filter on page 8),
then store the appliance indoors
