Shop Preparation
•
Machine Mobility: This air cleaner unit has a
balanced fan and uses digital components.
Move this air cleaner unit with care, and do
not drop or handle it roughly.
•
Operating Location: Operating this air
cleaner unit in the incorrect environment can
cause an explosion or respiratory damage to
you and others. This air cleaner unit is only
designed to help remove very fine wood
particles from the air. It is not a dust
collector, so take all necessary safety
precautions. The operating location must be
free of volatile fumes from fuels, paints,
pesticides, chemicals, smoke, and other
gasses; including an environment free of
silica, metal, asbestos, hazardous bacterium,
and other particles.
Locate the air cleaner unit where the signal
path for the remote control is unobstructed
and is used within 75 feet of the control
panel. Often, the optimum location for this
air cleaner unit is at an overhead central shop
location and not at the corners.
DO NOT allow untrained
people in your shop! Make
sure shop entrances are
locked and machines are
correctly turned off with
lock-out devices when
not in use. Otherwise,
injury or death can occur.
•
Working Clearances: Consider your current
and future shop needs with respect to the
machinery and the dust collection system
used. Make sure that the inlet and the outlet
have at least 12" of clearance between
obstructions as not to restrict the air flow.
The suction must be farther than 3 feet from
vents as the filter, if to close to vents, may
draw and filter air that is not from your work
area. You may have to create or modify other
shop ducting to achieve the correct working
clearances and airflow.
•
Outlets: Make sure the electrical circuits have
the capacity to handle the amperage
requirements of the new air cleaner unit.
Refer to Page 7 for more information.
Electrical outlets should be located near the
unit so power or extension cords are clear of
high-traffic areas.
DO NOT operate this air
cleaner unit at a location
where flammable fuels,
solvents, or other volatile
chemicals may exist. Since
these products have a low
flash point, the fan motor
can ignite the fumes and
cause an explosion and
severe personal injury!
When used in conjunction with a dust collector
system, the Model W1690 Deluxe Ceiling
Mounted Air Cleaner efficiently removes most
fine wood particles in the air that many dust
collectors cannot.
For additional information on the correct dust
collection system, additions, or modifications;
contact your Woodstock International dealer for
a copy of the Dust Collection Basics handbook
and available accessories.
USE
the correct dust
collection system in your
shop. This air cleaner unit is
not a dust collection system
and CANNOT be modified as
such. Ignoring this warning
can result in short and long-
term respiratory illness.
