machine. It is recommended that machines which produce
greater amounts of dust be located closest to the dust collec-
tor.
WARNING: There is a danger of static electricity building up
in the dust collector system and causing a flash explosion or
fire. To prevent static electricity buildup, install grounding kit.
• A grounding kit is included and must be installed in the
shop dust collector system to protect against electrostatic
discharge. The grounding kit is more easily installed as the
individual sections for each machine are assembled.
LAYOUT SYSTEM AT SELECTED SITE
Temporarily assemble the pieces together as described below
so that the location of the hangers can be determined and
where the wall anchors for the hangers will be placed.
• Attach 2_/2x 22" plastic straight pipe to 45-degree elbow
using connector.
• Attach 2W' plastic "T" fitting to 2_/2x 22" plastic straight
pipe using connector.
• Repeat steps 2 and 3 for connection to each additional
machine.
• For last machine, attach 45 ° elbow to 2_/2x 22" plastic
straight pipe using connector.
• Prop plastic pipe and "T" fitting temporary assembly with
2 x 4's against wall. inlet should be less than 24" from dust
collector.
• Position hangers approximately 6" from each end of 2_/zx
22" straight plastic pipe and mark hole locations for each
hanger.
INSTALL WALL ANCHORS
Wall anchors need to be installed at the site selected for the
dust collector. To install wall anchors:
* Drill 3/j, hole, 1_/4"deep at each hanger mark.
. Hammer anchors into each of the holes, so that they are
flush with wall.
PERMANENT ASSEMBLY
Refer to Figures 1 and 2.
• Mount first section of plastic straight pipe and "T" fitting
using hangers and thread-forming screws into wall anchors.
• Drill _/J' hole in first section of plastic straight pipe where it
meets the "T" fitting.
• Cut grounding wire to a length of 4' for plastic pipe, plus
length of hose that attaches from pipe to dust collector.
• Run the grounding wire inside the plastic straight pipe and
hose to the dust collector.
• Drill _/_"holes in the hose on dust collector side and bring
grounding wire out through hole.
• Attach hose from pipe to dust collector.
• Attach end of grounding wire to metal screw on the dust
collector.
• Bring other end of grounding wire out through the W'
drilled hole.
• Mount additional sections of plastic straight pipe and "T"
fittings using hangers and thread-forming screws into wall
anchors.
• Drill _/_"hole in both ends of each section of plastic straight
pipe where it meets the "T" fitting.
• Run a 4' length of grounding wire inside each plastic
straight pipe.
• Bring each end of grounding wire out through the W'
drilled holes.
• Grounding wires will be joined with wire nuts after flexible
hoses are installed (see Figure 1).
• Attach blast gates to each "T" fitting using connector.
• Make sure that all thread-forming screws holding the
anchors are tight.
ATTACH FLEXIBLE HOSES TO MACHINES
Refer to Figures 1 and 2.
Hoses are attached to the blast gate and woodworking
machines using hose clamps. To attach hoses:
• Slide hose clamp onto one end of 2_t_x 72" flexible hose.
Loosen clamp screw if required to slide hose clamp onto
hose.
• Position the hose clamp wires on the hose grooves.
• Run an 8' length of grounding wire inside the flexible
hose.
• Drill W' holes at each end of the hose and bring wire out
through holes.
• Slide hose with clamp and grounding wire onto blast gate.
• Tighten hose clamp screw to secure hose to blast gate.
• Slide other hose clamp onto the opposite hose end.
• Attach hose to machine dust port.
• Make sure that all hose clamps are tight.
• Attach machine end of grounding wire to metal part of
machine. Use a screw or bolt with a lock washer to ensure
a good ground connection.
• Other end of wire is pulled around blast gate to be
attached to the pipe wires (see Figure 1).
• Gather three copper wires at each "T" fitting and twist
together. Twist wire nut onto three wires.
• Make sure that wire nuts are secure.
• Seal all the W' holes with caulk after the system is assem-
bled to prevent air leaks.
