Product Manual

System Start-Up Information
Read the installation and maintenance instructions as well as the recom-
mended safety practices in this manual and your shop vacuum’s owner’s
manual before assembling and using the Dust Deputy®.
Some dusts are highly ammable or explosive. Learn / know what you
are dealing with. Follow all local, state, federal & NFPA codes and
guide lines.
Safety Instructions to be Strictly Followed.
Wood dust mixtures are highly ammable and can be explosive.
NEVER introduce sparks or sources of ignition into collector.
1.) Dump drum after each use.
2.) Ground system. (See pg. 9) For added safety.
The Dust Deputy® is made from static dissipating plastic. Additional
grounding is recommended for increased safety. See grounding instruc-
tions.
Keep re extinguishers handy at all times.
Can be used for collecting non-ammable liquids.
Dispose of waste in a FIRE SAFE AREA.
NEVER leave wood dust in a building or vehicle.
Always read your shop vacuum owner’s manual for safety proce-
dures regarding the operation of your shop vacuum.
Do not vacuum, or use this Dust Deputy® near ammable or combus-
tible liquids, gases, or explosive dusts, such as gasoline or other fuels,
lighter uid, cleaners, oil-based paints, natural gas, hydrogen, coal dust,
magnesium dust, grain dust, aluminum dust, sugar dust, our dust or
gun powder.
Do not vacuum anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes,
matches, or hot ashes or any hot substance!
To reduce the risk of health hazards from vapors or dusts, do not
vacuum toxic materials unless a HEPA lter is used. Do not use or store
near hazardous materials.
WARNING / SAFETY
Troubleshooting
To Prevent Hose Pull Off
Dust Deputy® not separating well. (Only a tiny amount of dust should
reach the vacuum.)
Wrap the inlet and outlet of the Dust Deputy with a layer of electrical tape
to increase the friction t.
Use a hose clamp.
Secure with a sheet metal screw.
Low air volume.
Material swirls in cyclone and won’t drop down into drum.
Hose connections not tight.
Air leak. Check cyclone ange / drum lid / barrel. Even small leaks
will affect performance.
Vacuum lter clogged. Blockage in hose.
Air leak in bottom of cyclone / drum lid or dust drum.
Large, bulkier material might swirl. Restart or temporarily cut off air
ow to drop material down.
Due to the varied hose diameters, exible couplers
can be used. They are available at local hardware
stores in the plumbing section.
The inlet and outlet of the Dust Deputy® are shouldered and tapered
to adapt to a range of vac hose sizes. If on your model the friction t
isn’t as tight as needed you can do the following:
1. 6.
For additional static reduction, install metal tape as shown.
For added grounding, attach wire to bolt between bolt head and
washer, then attach another washer to end of wire. Wire must be long
enough for washer to lie at on oor.
This hardware not provided.
Cover bolt hole and use the
bolt for the grounding wire
anchor.
