disconnected from the power source before servicing and
removing/replacing any components on the machine.
• Check the dust collector daily for loose mounting bolts,
screws, damaged wires, worn switch, full collection bag and
any other unsafe condition.
• The impeller screw may loosen with use. Check the impeller
once a month to ensure the impeller screws are tight,
securing the impeller on the shaft.

clear window allows operator to see the amount of dust in the
bag and the bottom zip makes bag emptying easy .
