General Operation

This cyclone dust collector creates a vortex of
incoming air that extracts heavy wood chips and
large dust particles, and then drops them into the
steel drum below, which is lined with a plastic bag.

Figure 56. Dust collector operation.
The remaining fine dust travels past the impeller
and is then caught by a canister filter and depos-
ited in the plastic collection bag below. The spun-
bond polyester filters catch 99.9 percent of parti-
cles to 1 micron in size, and are pleated to provide
maximum surface area for efficient air flow.
To maintain CFM during heavy dust-collection
operations, turn the filter cleaning handle back
and forth to knock caked-on dust into the plastic
collection bag.
Always lock all four swivel casters during operation.
