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_/z x
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.
