Operating the Machine

Connect the dust collector to the power source.
If power is flowing, a green indicator will light on
the face of the control panel.
To operate the machine, use the buttons on the
control panel, or use the provided remote
control. To start the dust collector, press the ON
button. If the remote control is used, aim it at the
control panel. The machine will remain running
until the OFF button is pressed. The digital
readout will always display 00 while running.
The remote control operates on two AAA
batteries. These will need replacing periodically.
NOTE: The infrared sensor on the dust collector
has a 120° line-of-sight angle. See Figure 13.
Outside of this angle, the remote control may not
be effective.

Setting the Timer

While the machine is running, press the TIME
button to activate the timer. Each time the button
is pressed and released, the run time is
incremented on the digital display by one minute
and can be set up to 99 minutes.
If the TIME button is pressed and held, the time
will scroll up to 99 minutes, then start again at
00. Release the button when the desired set
time is reached. The dust collector will run for
the amount of time displayed on the digital
display. If you scroll past 99 and release the
button at 10, for example, the machine will run
for ten minutes, not 110 minutes.
If the OFF button is pressed while machine is
running with the timer engaged, the machine
turns off and the timer is disengaged; i.e., when
the machine is restarted, the timer must be
reset.
Connecting the Dust Collector to a
Machine
Use the proper type hose to connect the dust
collector to the machine being operated. Dryer
vent hose is not acceptable for this purpose.
Contact your nearest Powermatic distributor for
a full line of Dust Collector hoses and
accessories. You can customize your installation
and obtain maximum performance with dust
hoods, hoses, clamps, fittings, and blast gates.
