Introduction
General Instructions for 230V Machines
5
The following will enable you to observe good working
practices, keep yourself and fellow workers safe and
maintain your tools and equipment in good working order.
Mains Powered Tools
•Tools are supplied with an attached 13 Amp plug.
•Inspect the cable and plug to ensure that neither are
damaged. Repair if necessary by a suitably qualified
person.
•Do not use when or where it is liable to get wet.
Workplace
•Do not use 230V a.c. powered tools anywhere
within a site area that is flooded.
•Keep machine clean.
•Leave machine unplugged until work is about to
commence.
•Always disconnect by pulling on the plug body
and not the cable.
•Carry out a final check e.g. check the cutting tool
is securely tightened in the machine and the
correct speed and function set.
•Ensure you are comfortable before you start work,
balanced,not reaching etc.
•Wear appropriate safety clothing, goggles, gloves,
masks etc.Wear ear defenders at all times.
•If you have long hair wear a hair net or helmet to prevent
it being caught up in the rotating parts of the machine.
•Consideration should be given to the removal of rings
and wristwatches.
•Consideration should also be given to non-slip
footwear etc.
•If another person is to use the machine, ensure they are
suitably qualified to use it.
•Do not use the machine if you are tired or distracted.
•Do not use this machine within the designated safety
areas of flammable liquid stores or in areas where there
may be volatile gases.
•Check cutters are correct type and size,are
undamaged and are kept clean and sharp, this will
maintain their operating performance and lessen the
loading on the machine.
•OBSERVE…. make sure you know what is
happening around you and USE YOUR COMMON SENSE.
WARNING!! KEEP TOOLS AND
EQUIPMENT OUT OF REACH OF
YOUNG CHILDREN
KEEP WORK AREA AS
UNCLUTTERED AS IS PRACTICAL.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
SHOULD CHILDREN BE ALLOWED
IN WORK AREAS.
The AC82E is a compact, well made chip extractor for use
in a home workshop.The main body can be mounted
either way up, giving a choice of inlet positions on the top
or bottom of the machine. It is powered by a 230V 1.1kW
induction motor, which produces quite a vigorous airflow,
ensuring better than average waste collection
performance.
The base has castors fitted for easy mobility around the
workshop.
As standard, 30 micron filter bag is fitted, along with a
plastic waste sack.The filtration can be upgraded with
an optional 1 micron cartridge filter.This has a very large
surface area, so does not impede the airflow.
The inlet size is 100mm, allowing easy connection to many
types of machines using flexible hose. Please do not step
down the hose diameter below 75mm, as the airflow
volume will drastically fall below this diameter.
HAVING UNPACKED YOUR MACHINE, PLEASE DISPOSE OF THE PACKAGING PROPERLY.

DO NOT use this machine as a vacuum cleaner, try to keep
the waste medium to wood by-products.
DO NOT uplift workshop floor debris (stones, nails, screws,
paper etc., etc). Be aware that wood dust is an explosive
medium.
DO NOT allow any ‘naked light’ source to occur anywhere
near the machine.This includes cigarettes, matches, etc,
and do not place the machine near any unprotected light
bulbs, that could possibly get broken.
The suction force is generated by a high speed fan unit.
This has the potential to amputate fingers, grab loose
clothing (ties etc.,) and‘bat’large chips etc, at high speeds.
Keep all guarding in place,and if access to the fan becomes
necessary (due to blockage etc.,) Disconnect the machine
from the mains supply and ensure the fan has come to a
complete stop before putting your hands anywhere near
to it.
If you are not using ‘clear’ extraction hose,periodically
remove the hose to check that the inlet to the machine is
not getting restricted.
The safety guard grill of the inlet duct can be particularly
irksome in this way, as long strand shavings etc., can wrap
around the grill fret.
KEEP the particle filter clean.The machine relies on its
ability to ‘blow’ air through the filter, to generate good
suction. If the particle filter starts to clog, this reduces the
air flow and hence the machine becomes less efficient.
The particle filter can be cleaned, by using an ‘M’class
vacuum cleaner, clean the inside of the filter.
BE AWARE that in dry air periods or areas, the movement
of the air through the machine can generate static electric
fields.These are not normally a problem as the machine
is bonded together via its construction and the whole is
earthed back through the electrical supply; problems can
occur with isolated items,such as stands or hosing that are
insulated from the ground (standing on rubber feet?,
suspended in the air etc). If possible, try to connect
everything together electrically, to eliminate static shocks.
(Use the integral metal coil in flexible hosing to connect
the units together).Try to route the power cable and the
hosing away from busy walkways.

Testing the Extractor Reduced Suction Performance
Connect the extraction hose/s to the extractor’s inlet. After a period of time dust, sawdust and shavings can
build up causing blockages and reduced suction
performance. Carry out the following checks to keep
your extractor working at peak performance.
• Remove the micron filter bag and check for signs of
build up of sawdust and clean with an‘M’ class vacuum
cleaner.
• If you have the cartridge filter fitted, move the shaker
paddle handle back and forth to remove any built up
dust and debris from inside the filter.
• Check the hose/s for blockages.
• Check the dust collecting bag and empty if full.
• After a period of time remove the cartridge filter if
installed and using a ‘M’ class vacuum cleaner clean the
interior and exterior of the filter.
