QUICK REFERENCE OPERATOR CARD

1. Pre-Start Checklist & Calibration

  • Bag Clamps: Inspect metal band clamps on upper fabric filter and lower plastic collector bag for air-tight seal.
  • Blast Gates: Ensure target machine blast gate is open and idle machine gates are closed.
  • Hose Integrity: Verify flexible ductwork connections fit tightly onto tool ports.

2. Safety Precautions

  • Static Grounding: Keep ductwork grounded to prevent static discharge sparks near fine wood dust.
  • Bag Capacity: Empty lower plastic collection bag before chips fill above lower metal collar ring.
  • Foreign Objects: Do not allow metal fasteners or large solid offcuts to enter suction hose.

  1. Connect duct hose to target woodworking tool and open corresponding blast gate.
  2. Power on dust collector prior to starting woodworking machinery.
  3. Allow collector to run 10 seconds after machining ends to clear hose, then switch OFF.
