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

Before each use:
-
Check the power cord and plug for any wear or damage.
- Check for any loose screws or hardware.
-
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.
-
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.
- 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.
- 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.
