SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

WARNING: THIS TOOL MUST BE GROUNDED WHILE IN USE TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.

IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of least resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and requires a grounding plug (not included). The plug MUST be plugged into a matching electrical receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.

DO NOT MODIFY ANY PLUG. If it will not fit the electrical receptacle, have the proper electrical receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

IMPROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. DO NOT connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal if repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary.

CHECK with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded when installing or replacing a plug.

USE ONLY A 3-WIRE EXTENSION CORD THAT HAS THE PROPER TYPE OF A 3-PRONG GROUNDING PLUG THAT MATCHES THE MACHINE'S 3-PRONG PLUG AND ALSO THE 3-POLE RECEPTACLE THAT ACCEPTS THE TOOL'S PLUG. FIG. A. *

DUST HAZARDS AND SAFETY

GROUNDING THE DUCT WORK

Dust particles moving through flexible or rigid plastic duct work can cause static electricity build-up. The duct work must be properly grounded to ensure that static discharge does not ignite fine dust particles causing an explosion or fire.

To properly ground plastic duct work, simply run a small gauge bare copper wire through the ducting and have it emerge from the hose at the dust collector and at each dust producing machine. The bare copper wire should be bonded to the metal shell of each machine by means of a metal screw. The screw must be threaded into the metal shell to ensure a good connection.

The grounding of metal duct work is similar, the only difference is that there is no need to run the bare copper wire inside the ducting. It can be wrapped along the out side of the ducting and should be bonded to each machine as

MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

Turn the power switch "OFF" and disconnect the plug from the outlet prior to adjusting or maintaining the machine. DO NOT attempt to repair or maintain the electrical components of the motor. Contact a qualified service technician for this type of maintenance.

1. Before each use:

2. Check the power cord and plug for any wear or damage.

3. Check for any loose screws or hardware.

4. Check the area to make sure it is clear of any misplaced tools, lumber, cleaning supplies, etc. that could hamper the safe operation of the machines being used.

5. To avoid a build-up of wood dust, regularly clean all parts of your machines using a soft cloth, brush or compressed air. A general cleaning should be done after every use to avoid future problems and ensure the machines are in ready condition for the next time that they are used.

WARNING: If blowing sawdust, wear proper eye protection to prevent debris from blowing into eyes.

1. Check the duct work and hoses to make sure that there are no loose connections. Making sure that they are in proper operating condition will ensure that the dust collection will be the best possible.
2. Clean the upper filtering bag, or canister, on a regular basis to prevent the build-up of dust for better dust collection and air filtration. Check for abrasion, tears or damage.

WARNING: Always wear a dust mask or respirator while emptying the collector bags or cleaning the dust collector.

Please refer to the California Proposition 65 warning on page 6 of this manual regarding hazards from exposure to wood dust. For more detailed information visit www.rikontools.com or www.oehha.ca.gov.
