G0637/G0638 Cyclone Dust Collector

No list of safety guidelines can be complete.

Every shop environment is different. Always

consider safety first, as it applies to your

individual working conditions. Use this and

other machinery with caution and respect.

Failure to do so could result in serious per-

sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor

work results.

Like all machines there is danger associ-

ated with this dust collector. Accidents are

frequently caused by lack of familiarity or

failure to pay attention. Use this machine

with respect and caution to lessen the pos-

sibility of operator injury. If normal safety

precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri-

ous personal injury may occur.

Additional Safety for Dust Collectors

6. AVOIDING FIRES. Do not allow steel to

strike against impeller—this may produce a
spark. Sparks can smolder in wood dust for
a long time before fire or flame is detected.
If  metal  contacts  metal  during  operation,
immediately  turn  off  the  dust  collector,  flip
the  disconnect  switch  and  wait  for  all  mov-
ing  parts  to  stop.  Remove  collection  bags
and empty the dust into an approved air tight
metal  container  in  case  of  spark.  Remedy
the  metal  to  metal  contact  problem  before
resuming operation.

7. OPERATIONAL QUESTIONS. If at any time

you  are  experiencing  difficulties  perform-
ing  the  intended  operation,  stop  using  the
machine!  Then  contact  our  Tech  Support
or ask a qualified expert how the operation
should be performed.

8. CLEANING AIR. Do not confuse this dust

collector with an air cleaner. This dust col-
lector is only designed to collect dust from
a machine, not clean dust suspended in the
air.

9. EMPTYING DUST. When emptying dust

from  the  collection  bags  or  drum,  wear  a
respirator  and  safety  glasses.  Empty  dust
into  an  approved  container  and  dispose  of
properly.

1. MACHINE USE. Do not use this dust collec-

tor to pick up liquids and metal scraps, includ-

ing, but not limited to, nails and filings. Also,

do not pick up material which cannot safely

pass through the impeller such as solid wood

scraps.

2. KEEPING FINGERS SAFE. Do not place

your hands or tools near the open inlet during
operation. The moving impeller could cause
serious damage to body parts if touched
while spinning.

3. SAFE SERVICING. Disconnect power and

allow the impeller to come to a complete stop

before servicing or working on the dust col-

lector ducting system.

4. SUSPENDED DUST PARTICLES AND IGNI-

TION SOURCES. Do not operate the dust

collector in areas where explosion risks would

be high if dust were dispersed into the area.

Areas of high risk include, but are not lim-

ited to, areas near pilot lights and/or open

flames.

5. DUST HAZARD. Be aware that certain woods

may cause an allergic reaction in people and
animals,  especially  when  exposed  to  fine
dust. Make sure you know what type of wood
dust  you  will  be  exposed  to  in  case  of  an
allergic  reaction.  Always  wear  an  approved
respirator  during  and  for  a  short  time  after
machine operation!
