system start-up Information (Continued)
12. ALWAYS check your dust bin for smoldering materials before leaving the shop.
13. NEVER introduce sparks or sources of ignition into the dust collector. Sparks can be generated in several
ways:
a. High speed sanders, abrasive planers, saws, and edgers may strike foreign material and create a red-hot
metal fragment.
b. Knots in hardwood can create frictional sparks.
c. Trapped metal, when drawn into the dust collection system, can spark against ductwork.
d. Check wood stock for old nails and screws which can create red-hot metal fragments.
14. DO NOT overload woodworking equipment, especially sanders, as excessive frictional heat can
spontaneously ignite dust. Sanders can produce concentrations of dust well into the combustible range.
15. ALWAYS check that all dust collection equipment is properly selected and sized for the intended use.
Authorities with jurisdiction should be consulted before installing to verify local codes and installation
procedures. In the absence of such codes, install collector according to the National Electric Code, NFPA No.
70-latest edition and NFPA 91, NFPA664 Code (NFPA 654 if combustible dust is present).
