G1163 Portable Dust Collector
SECTION 4: OPERATIONS
Please review the safety rules if you are not sure
about the risks associated with operating this
machine. Turn on the power supply at the main
panel if not already on. Press the ON switch and
be ready to switch OFF just in case there is a
problem. The dust collector should run smoothly
and be free of vibration or rubbing noises.
Unusual or strange sounds or symptoms must be
investigated and the problem corrected before
proceeding further.
Test Run
Set Up
The G1163 dust collector can be either operated
as a mobile or stationary unit. There are advan-
tages and disadvantages to both systems. The
primary advantage of a mobile system is low
expense of ducts and fittings. On the other hand
a stationary system is more versatile and conve-
nient. There are some basic considerations for
each method.
In light of all the health concerns related to air-
borne dust, proper setup and installation cannot
be overlooked.
You may wish to locate your dust collector away
from the work area in an adjacent room or closet.
If you do locate the dust collector in an adjacent
room by running a duct through the wall, be sure
there are no open flames and/or gas appliances
with pilot lights. There is a risk of explosion if dust
is dispersed into the air. You must also ensure
that the volume of air entering the room or closet
is properly vented back into the workshop.
Make sure the G1163 is unplugged or dis-
connected from the power source and moving
parts have come to a complete stop before
investigating any problems or performing any
maintenance or adjustments. Serious per-
sonal injury may occur.
Ensure that all duct work is grounded to dis-
charge the build-up of static electricity, partic-
ularly if using a plastic duct system. See
System Grounding section. Serious person-
al injury may occur.
If everything is running smoothly, perform a test
of the dust collector. Ensure that the collector
picks up sawdust freely and easily. If it does not,
review the assembly process and your duct sys-
tem.
