PROPER GROUNDINGGrounding provides a path of leastresistance for electric current to reduce therisk of electric shock.CX406 is for use on a normal 220 voltcircuit. Make sure that the machine isconnected to an outlet having the sameconfiguration as the plug. If an adaptor plugis used, it must be attached to the metalscrew of the receptacle. To preventelectrical hazards, have a qualifiedelectrician ensure that the line is properlywired.The dust collector should be wired with aplug having 3 prongs to fit a 3 pronggrounded receptacle as shown in figure-3.Do not remove the grounding prong to fit itinto a 2 pronged outlet.WARNINGImproper connection of the equipmentgroundingconductor can result in a riskof electric shock. Check with a qualifiedelectrician if you are in doubt as towhether the outlet is properly grounded.It is strongly recommended not to useextension cords with your CX406. Alwaystry to position your machine close to thepower source so that you do not need touse extension cords.In case if you really find it necessary to usean extension cord, make sure the extensioncord does not exceed 50-feet in length andthe cord is 14-gauge to prevent motordamage.Figure-3 220-Volts outlet for CX4068

ASSEMBLYFollow the instructions below to assembleyour CX406.Take the base unit and turn it upside downand attach the four casters to the base unitas shown in figure-4. Select the appropriatenuts and bolts provided and tightensecurely.Place the rubber gasket on the flangeopening of the motor/impeller unit as shownin figure-6.Figure-6 Rubber gasketFigure-4 Installing the castersTake the Y-outlet and carefully mount it ontop of the flange opening as shown infigure-7 and secure it using nuts, bolts, andwashers provided.Turn the base upright and position themotor/impeller unit on it by aligning theholes on the motor/impeller unit with theholes on the base unit. Secure themotor/impeller unit onto the base usingnuts, bolts, and washers provided.Figure-5 Motor/Impeller unit mountedFigure-7 Y-outlet installed9

Place the gasket on the collector ringopening and attach the collector ring to theY-outlet as shown in figure-8. Secure itusing screws provided.support and the collector ring.

See figure-10.Install the second top bag support rod andcollector support to the collector ring in thesame manner.Attach the top bag to the collector rings andsecure both using belt clamp provided. Seefigure-10.Figure-8 Installing the collector ringInstall the second collector in the samemanner.Attach the collector support with one end tothe collector ring and the other end to thebase. Secure the bottom end to the baseusing screws and washers provided. Seefigure-9.Figure-10 Installing the top bagInstall the second bag in the same mannerand secure it with the belt clamp provided.Figure-9 Installing the collector ring supportAttach the second collector to the basesupport in the same manner.Now, take the top bag support and align theholes on it with the holes on the collectorYour dust collector should come with aregular bottom bag as well as a set of Easy-On bags.To install the Easy-On bag, insert the beltclamp through the Easy-On bag and attachthe bag around the dust collector ring.To install the regular bottom bag, hook thebags to the hooks around the collector ring.Then use the belt clamp to secure thecollection bag around the collector.10

Slide the triple intake over the impellerintake hole and secure it using a screw.See figure-11.Place the canister on the top of the collectorring and position the metal clamp aroundthe canister bottom part. Make sure thecanister is sitting evenly on the collectorring and tighten the clamp.Figure-11 Installing the triple intakeINSTALLING CANISTER(OPTIONAL)The CX406 does not come with canisters,but you can buy it separately. To install thecanister to the CX406:Figure-13 Installing the canisterAttach the adhesive foam to the outside toprim of the collector rings as shown in figure-12 and trim and excessive foam.Figure-12 Attaching the adhesive foam11

TEST RUNOnce you have assembled your dustcollector, it is then time for a test run tomake sure that the machine works properlyand is ready to use.Remove all the tools used for assemblingthe machine components. Walk around themachine, ensure all nuts, bolts, and screwsare tightened and the machine is properlyassembled. Connect the cord to the powersource and turn the machine ON.During the test run if there is any unusualnoise coming from the machine or themachine vibrates excessively, turn OFF thepower switch immediately and disconnectthe cord from the power source. Investigateif you can find out the problem with yourmachine.OPTIONAL GROUNDINGKIT FOR CX406Craftex offers an Optional groundingsystem with the CX406 to decrease theshock hazard (although extremely rare).The sawdust being collected becomes verydry as it travels through the collection pipesor tubes and as it spins through the systemit creates a static charge. If this is notgrounded, it could give the tool operator astatic shock. Although the electrical shockis extremely minor, it may haveconsequences to some individuals.WARNINGBefore starting the machine, make surethat you have read and understood theuser manual and you are familiar with thesafety features of the machine. Failure todo so may cause serious personal injury.Figure-14 Optional grounding kitWARNINGDo not make any adjustments while themachine is running. Turn off themachine and un-plug from the powersource before making any adjustments.The grounding of the pipes or tubes willhelp eliminate the possibility of theseshocks. The copper wire included with thegrounding kit should be connected to thesteel chassis of the dust collector and fedthrough a small hole made in the tubing orpipe. The wire should then be fed to the toolbeing used and grounded to the steelchassis. Should there be more than onetool connected (through gates) to theCX406, they should all be grounded asdescribed above.12

OPERATIONOperating the CX406 dust collector is verysimple and straightforward.Make sure the dust collector is properlyassembled and worked during the test run.Move the CX406 close to the machine anduse a proper size hose connecting the hosewith its one end to the machine and theother end to the dust collector.Make sure the connections are securedusing hose clamps and connect the ductingground and the dust collector is ready foroperation.MAINTENANCEDuring the life of your machine, you willneed to practice some regular maintenanceto keep your dust collector in peakperformance condition.EMPTYING THECOLLECTION BAGThe collection bags should be emptied at aregular basis allowing the machine tooperate a higher level.Always wear proper dust mask or respiratorwhile emptying the collection bag. Thesmall dust particles flying into the air whileemptying the collection bag can be easilyinhaled and is extremely unhealthy, causingserious long term respiratory problems.CLEANING THE CANISTER(IF USING A CANISTER)The canister features a cleaning handlewhich is used to clean the canister filter. Toclean the canister filter simply move thehandle back and forth and the trapped dustparticles will fall into the collection bag.WARNINGMake sure the machine is turned off andthe cord is disconnected from the powersource before servicing andremoving/replacing any components onthe machine.Check your machine daily for loosemounting bolts, damaged cord, wornswitch, full collection bag, or any otherunsafe condition.All bearings are shielded and permanentlylubricated and do not need any furtherlubrication.Figure-15 Canister filter cleaning handle13
