2. Attach hose to the smaller end of the metal connector with pre-installed valve and grounding wire, then connect hose to

the vacuum inlet as shown in picture above right.

Dust laden air moving through flexhose, ductwork, vacuum cleaners and cyclones

can create a buildup of electric charge if the surfaces are not electrically conductive

or do not have an adequate path to ground. This charge will build up until a grounded

object is put in contact with the surface or until the energy becomes great enough to

"jump" to ground. Discharging static electricity can cause discomfort and be an an-

noyance. The Dust Deputy uses static dissipative (SD) components but we strongly

recommend that you additionally follow these instructions to ensure a complete ground

path as an extra measure of protection for you and your equipment.

The picture at the left shows the vacuum completely assembled. Please note that

if you add components of your own (hose, adapters, reducers, etc.) these must be

grounded as well in a similar manner.

1. Cyclone - With the provided aluminum

tape, tape the cyclone as shown in picture

Make sure that the tape ends go over the

rims by at least 1/4" and attaches inside the

inlet and outlet. Also notice that the tape on

the bottom flange goes over the bolt hole

for additional grounding when the cyclone

is bolted to the dust bin top. Ensure that

hoses connected to the inlet and outlet

make contact with the aluminum tape.

Page 3 Grounding Wire The photos above show a grounding solution if you are using a Festool mini extractor. You will need to use an elbow to at- tach the hose to the inlet. You need to tape the elbow with the metal tape first as shown on previous page before you attach it to the hose and metal connector.
