Troubleshooting - Oneida Air Systems Dust Deputy AXD000009 Owner's Manual

Troubleshooting

Dust Deputy® not separating well. (Only a tiny amount of dust should
reach the vacuum.)
Air leak. Check cyclone flange / drum lid / barrel. Even small leaks
will affect performance.
Low air volume.
Vacuum filter clogged. Blockage in hose.
Material swirls in cyclone and won't drop down into drum.
Air leak in bottom of cyclone / drum lid or dust drum.
Large, bulkier material might swirl. Restart or temporarily cut off air
flow to drop material down.
Hose connections not tight.
Due to the varied hose diameters, flexible couplers
can be used. They are available at local hardware
stores in the plumbing section. Ensure grounding.
To Prevent Hose Pull Off
The inlet and outlet of the Dust Deputy® are shouldered and tapered
to adapt to a range of vac hose sizes. If on your model the friction fit
isn't as tight as needed you can do the following:
Use a hose clamp.
Wrap the inlet and outlet of the Dust Deputy with a layer of electrical tape
to increase the friction fit.
Secure with a sheet metal screw.
Accessories
Hollow handle scraper attaches by hose to vacuum
source and sucks debris through handle to container.
Eliminates mess from scraping that usually falls to
floor.

Maintaining Anti-Static Grounding Pathways
The inlet of Festool dust extractors incorporate a connection to the earth ground to provide a
safe discharge pathway for static electricity that may be generated when wood dust moves through
hose or plastic parts. This grounded inlet works in conjunction with anti-static hoses. Oneida
wants to make certain that our Ultimate Dust Deputy customers understand that there is a ground-
ing pathway that must be maintained.
Oneida has always used static dissipating components in the UDD. The UDD has been third-
party tested to function as specified.
CAUTION! Disconnect vacuum from electrical source before any of the following tests are
performed.
Oneida is recommending that our customers:
• Use only tested anti-static components. Non anti-static hoses, couplers
or connectors could interrupt the anti-static pathway.
• Make certain that the ground plug in your house wall socket is properly
wired and working.
- The anti-static pathway relies on the ground plug in your outlet to be
functional.
- Do not use two-prong to three-prong adapters, extension cords without
a ground prong, etc.
• Install the UDD per our instructions which will ensure the anti-static path-
way is maintained.
• Verify continuity through the anti-static pathway.
- Continuity can be checked using a multi-meter that reads in mega ohms
(see diagram, acceptable values).
- Check from end of hose to earth prong on electrical plug.
• Experiencing any static problems likely means the grounding path is
interrupted. Be certain this is resolved using these instructions or call us
for assistance.
This diagram shows the
continuous ground from the
grounded prong at the outlet
to hose inlet that is required
for the anti-static grounding
pathway.
