4. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.

Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting

wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.

5. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN.

Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. Make sure the

floor is clean and not slippery due to wax and sawdust build-

up.

6. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT.

Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations or expose

them to rain. Keep work area well lit and provide adequate

surrounding work space.

7. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY.

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FOR YOUR CYCLONE DUST COLLECTOR

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury:

1) Read and understand this owners manual and all the labels on the

cyclone dust collector before operating. Use only as described in

this manual. To avoid personal injury or damage to your cyclone

dust collector, use only recommended accessories.

Sparks inside the electrical parts can ignite flammable vapors or dust.

To avoid fire or explosion:

2) Do not vacuum or use this cyclone dust collector near flammable

or combustible liquids, gases, gasoline or other fluels, lighter fluid,

cleaners, oil-based paints, natural gas, hydrogen, or explosive

dusts like coal dust, magnesium dust, grain dust or gun powder.

3) Do not vacuum anything that is burning or smoking, such as

cigarettes, matches or hot ashes.

4) To avoid health hazards from vapors and dust, do not vacuum toxic

materials.

5) Do not use or store near hazardous materials.

6) Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.

7) Place dust collector on a stable, level surface.

8) Keep vacuum hose and electric cord out of traffic areas.

9) Do not let the cyclone dust collector be used as a toy. Close

attention is necessary when used by or near children.

10) Do not leave the cyclone dust collector plugged in. Unplug from

the outlet when it is not in use and before servicing.

11) Use extra care when collecting dust on stairs.

12) To avoid injury from accidental starting, unplug power cord before

changing or cleaning the drum plastic bag or the canister filter

plastic bag.

13) Do not use without the canister filter plastic bag in place.

14) Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug,

not the cord.

15) Turn off controls before turning off.

16) Do not use with damaged cord, plug or other parts. If your

cyclone dust collector is not working as it should, has missing

parts, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into

water, send for servicing.

17) Do not pull or carry by the cord, use cord as handle, close a door

on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run

your cyclone dust collector over the cord. Keep cord away from

heated surfaces.

18) Do not handle the electrical plug with wet hands.

19) Do not put any objects into the ventilation openings. Do not vacuum

with any ventilation opening blocked, keep free of dust, lint, hair or

anything that may reduce the air flow.

20) Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all other parts of the body

away from openings and moving parts.

21) Extension cords in poor condition or that are too small can pose

fire and shock hazards. When using an extension cord, make

sure it is in good condition.

22) Connect to properly grounded outlet only.

23) USE the cyclone dust collector to pick up wood materials only.

DO NOT use to pick up metal shavings, dust, water, or parts.

24) DO NOT handle the plug or cyclone dust collector with wet hands.

CAUTION: If using this cyclone dust collector to keep airborne wood

dust in heavy usage within acceptable limits, you must regularly

monitor airborne dust and maintain the cyclone dust collector to avoid

exceeding dust limits. Each application is unique. Your maintenance

schedule must therefore be tailored to your specific use.

Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing

how your dust collector works.

WARNING: TO AVOID MISTAKES THAT COULD RESULT IN

SERIOUS, PERMANENT INJURY, DO NOT CONNECT THE

POWER CORD UNTIL THE FOLLOWING STEPS HAVE BEEN

COMPLETED:

1) Assembly, mounting and alignment.

2) Learn the function and proper use of the “ON/OFF’’ switch.

3) Read and understand all instructions and operating procedures

properly, turn off the cyclone dust collector and remove the power

cord from the power supply. Replace damaged, missing or failed

parts before using the cyclone dust collector again.

2) Plan your work to protect your eyes, hands, face, ears and body.

3) WEARSAFETYGOGGLES. ‘’FORESIGHTISBETTERTHAN

NOSIGHT’’. Wear safety goggles, not glasses, that comply with

ANSI Z87.1. Operating any power tool can result in foreign objects

being thrown into the eyes which can result in permanent eye

damage.

4) When cleaning the dust collector plastic bags, wear a dust mask.

CAUTION: The blower housing contains a high speed fan blade that

can amputate fingers, grab loose clothing and neckties, or propel

dust at high velocities. DO NOT OPERATE WITHOUT ALL PARTS

IN PLACE.

MAINTENANCE

MOTOR

Excessive dust in the motor could cause excessive heat. Every effort should be made to prevent foreign material from entering the motor. A visual

inspection should be made at frequent intervals. Accumulations of dry dust can usually be blown out to prevent the interference with normal

motor ventilation. To remove dust, blow off motor with a low pressure air hose.

The operator performing this cleaning function should wear safety glasses and a filter mask. If any servicing (other than the above cleaning)

becomes necessary, it should be performed by an authorized service centre.

CAUTION: WEARING A PARTICLE MASK/RESPIRATOR FOR PROTECTION AGAINST FINE DUST PARTICLES DURING CLEANING IS

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Use the proper type of hose to connect the cyclone dust collector to the machine being operated. A dryer vent hose is not acceptable for this

purpose.

REPLACEMENT DRUM BAGS AND CANISTER FILTER BAG KIT

A 6pc. kit (model KDCB-85) including 5 drum bags and 1 canister filter bag is available for this Cyclone Dust Collector. Contact your distributor

of King Canada products for more information.
