G1163 Portable Dust Collector
This machine must be grounded. Do not
remove the grounding prong from the power
cord. Be sure the receptacle is grounded. If
you are not sure about proper grounding, con-
sult an electrician. Serious personal injury
may result.
When placing the G1163 Dust Collector in your
shop, three major considerations should be
addressed - working clearances, lighting and
electrical, and circuit loading. Each of these con-
siderations will have a dramatic impact on the
performance and safety of this machine.
WORKING CLEARANCES
Working clearances can be defined as the safe
distance between other machines and obstacles
that may limit material being processed, or per-
son(s) operating those machines. Consider exist-
ing and anticipated machine needs, anticipated
size of material to be processed through each
machine, and space for auxiliary stands and/or
work tables. You may also want to consider the
relative position of each machine to one another
for efficient material handling. Be sure to allow
yourself sufficient room to safely operate your
machines in any foreseeable operation.
LIGHTING AND ELECTRICAL
Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate
shadows and prevent eye strain. Electrical cir-
cuits should be dedicated or large enough to han-
dle motor amp loads and proper lighting. Outlets
should be located near each machine so power
or extension cords are not obstructing high-traf-
fic areas. Be sure to observe local electrical
codes for proper installation if your are adding
new outlets, lighting, or circuits. Work areas
should also be well protected from rain and
other sources of moisture.
This machine must be grounded. There is no
exception to this requirement. Do not remove the
grounding prong from the power cord. Be sure
the receptacle is properly grounded. If you are not
sure of the circuit, contact a licensed electrician.
Extension Cords: If used, extension cords must
be rated “Hard Service” – Grade SJ – or better.
Conductor size should be 14 AWG for cords to
50' in length. Cord must be properly grounded.
Repair or replace extension cords it they become
worn or damaged.
If you are unsure of the suitability of circuits
you are planning to use for this or other
machines in your shop, contact a licensed
electrician for any necessary re-wiring or
repairs. Using faulty or improperly grounded
circuits could result in electrical shock, fire, or
other source of personal injury and property
damage.
CIRCUIT LOADING
The Model G1163 Portable Dust Collector draws
approximately 10 amps under normal operating
conditions, and should be fused at 15 amps to
provide safe surge protection.
DO NOT operate the Model G1163 on circuits
fused at more than 15 amps. Inadequate fuse
protection could result in damage to the motor
and possible fire hazard if overheating occurs.
Warranty coverage will be voided if evidence
of improper fusing is visible.
DO NOT attempt to use the Model G1163 or
other power tools or machinery when rain,
snow or other sources of excess moisture are
present. Use in the presence of water may
result in electrocution. Serious personal
injury may result.
