GENERAL MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Make sure the machine is turned off and the cord is
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.
• To check: Make sure the machine is turned off and the cord
is disconnected from the power source. Access the impeller
screws through the inlet cover on the machine and tighten to
secure the impeller on the shaft.
CLEANING
Check and empty the collection bag on your dust collector
regularly. The machine operates at a much higher level of
efficiency when the collection bag is empty.
This collection bag has a clear window and a bottom zip . The
clear window allows operator to see the amount of dust in the
bag and the bottom zip makes bag emptying easy .

5. Insert switch key
1. Inspect line cord or plug for damaged insulation
and shorted wires
2. Inspect all lead connections on motor for loose
or shorted terminals or worn insulation on wires
