This machine is not designed to function as a replacement for a woodworking dust collector. A woodworking dust collector is connected, normally via a dust hose, to woodworking machinery and draws sawdust and woodchips directly from the source (such as a blade, bit or cutting tool) – this is a different and separate operation from the one performed by this machine. THIS UNIT IS NOT DESIGNED TO REPLACE PERSONAL BREATHING PROTECTION DEVICES SUCH AS RESPIRATORS OR DUST MASKS.
