system start-up Information (Continued)
14. NEVER make modifications without prior approval from Oneida Air Systems. Modifying the dust collector
or using it differently than intended will void the warranty and may result in malfunction or mechanical
failure that leads to serious personal injury or death!
15. DO NOT locate or operate the system in moist, wet, poorly lit, or cluttered environments. Operating in these
areas can create shock hazards, increase the risks of accidents and injury, and/or lower the operating lifespan
of the dust collector.
16. DO NOT install in classified hazardous atmospheres without an enclosure rated for the application. System
Location must account for wind, seismic zone, and other load conditions. Codes may regulate acceptable
locations for installing dust collectors. Consult with the appropriate authorities having jurisdiction to ensure
compliance with all national and local codes regarding dust collector installation. Equipment must be
anchored in a manner consistent with local code requirements. Anchors must be sufficient to support dead,
live, seismic, and other anticipated loads. Consult a qualified engineer for final selection of anchorage.
17. ENSURE exhaust air is properly vented. It should NOT be vented into a wall, a ceiling, or a concealed space
of a building. Personal injury, death, and/or property damage can result from material discharge during
venting. The risk of personal injury and/or property damage can be minimized or avoided by locating vented
equipment outside buildings and away from normally occupied areas. If exhaust air is vented outside, you
must provide make up / return air. Flue gases (carbon monoxide) can be drawn into the shop from furnaces,
water heaters, or other appliances
18. INSPECT and MAINTAIN REGULARLY. Keep the dust collector in proper working order. A machine that
isn't properly maintained, not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped in
water could malfunction leading to serious personal injury or death!
19. AVOID CORD DAMAGE. DO NOT pull or carry by cord. DO NOT use cord as handle. DO NOT unplug
by pulling on cord. To unplug, grab the plug, DO NOT close door on cord or pull cord around sharp edges or
corners. DO NOT run dust collector over cord. DO NOT handle cord/plug with wet hands. Keep cord away
from heated surfaces.
20. ALWAYS check for damaged parts. A part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that
it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Immediately repair or replace damaged or mis-
adjusted parts before operating machine.
21. DO NOT put any object in openings. DO NOT use with any opening blocked. (Except when pulsing - See
Maintenance Section for more information.)
22. ALWAYS wear a NIOSH approved respirator when emptying dust bins and during operation. Some dust
created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or other long-term respiratory damage
23. ALWAYS keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body AWAY from openings and moving parts.
24. ALWAYS wear ANSI-approved safety glasses or a face shield when operating or observing machinery and
when emptying dust bin.
25. ALWAYS wear hearing protection during extended periods of operation.
