System Start-Up Information (Continued)
4.
The customer assumes the responsibility for contacting their insurance underwriter regarding specific application requirements of explosion
venting or if additional fire protection and safety equipment may be required.
5.
DO NOT use this product to collect flammable dust or flammable vapors! - Fire or explosion may occur!
6.
NEVER collect sparks from a bench grinder into a wood dust collector.
7.
NEVER introduce sparks or sources of ignition into the dust collector.
8.
Check dust bin frequently for smoldering material and before leaving the shop.
9.
Keep portable fire extinguishers handy.
a. The ABC type (dry chemical) is generally a good choice for small wood shops.
b. Additional information on portable extinguishers can be found in NFPA 10 (Standard for Portable Fire Extinguishers).
10. Be especially careful with sanding units. They can produce concentrations of dust in the combustible range. Make certain enough air volume is at
the suction point to capture all the particulate generated.
11. This high air volume will dilute the mixture below the lower limit of flammability. Be careful not to generate sparks into the sanding dust.
12. Empty dust bin and clean filter often, especially when sanding.
13. DO NOT overload woodworking equipment, especially sanders. Excessive frictional heat can spontaneously ignite dust.
14. Sparks can be generated in several ways:
a. High speed sanders and abrasive planers may strike foreign material.
b. Saws and edgers may strike foreign material and create a red-hot metal fragment.
c. Knots in hardwood can create frictional sparks.
d. Trapped metal when drawn into the collector can spark against ductwork.
e. Check wood stock for old nails and screws which can create red hot metal fragments.
15. Avoid using excessively large wood waste bins.
16. ALWAYS check storage bins for smoldering material before leaving for the day.
17. Electrically ground all equipment and ducting. Static sparks can ignite wood dust. (Avoid using PVC drain pipe.)
18. DO NOT allow accumulation of layers of fine dust on horizontal surfaces (especially overhead lights, electrical boxes and fuse panels which can
ignite dust.)
19. UNPLUG UNIT BEFORE SERVICING OR CLEANING
