General

The purpose of this overview is to provide the novice
machine operator with a basic understanding of how
the machine is used during operation, so the machine
controls/components discussed later in this manual are
easier to understand.
Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is not
intended to be an instructional guide. To learn more
about specific operations, read this entire manual, seek
additional training from experienced machine operators,
and do additional research outside of this manual by
reading "how-to" books, trade magazines, or websites.
Operation.Overview
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.
The remaining fine dust travels past the impeller and
is then caught by a canister filter and deposited in the
plastic collection bag below. The spun-bond polyester
filters catch 99.9 percent of particles 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 before operation.
