General Instructions for 230V Machines
4
These machines are supplied with a moulded 16 Amp plug and
3 core power cable. Before using the machine, inspect the cable
and the plug to make sure that neither are damaged. If any
damage is visible, have the damaged item inspected/repaired
by a suitably qualified person. If it is necessary to replace the
plug, it is preferable to use an ‘unbreakable’ type that will most
resist damage. Only use a 16 Amp plug, and make sure the cable
clamp is tightened securely. Fuse as required. If extension leads
are to be used, carry out the same safety checks on them, and
ensure that they are correctly rated to safely supply the current
that is required for your machine. Remember, most machines or
tools have handles or holding positions, the power cable is not
one of them.
Good Working Practices/Safety
Mains Powered Tools and Machines
Primary Precautions
Workplace/Environment
The following suggestions will enable you to observe good
working practices, keep yourself and fellow workers safe and
maintain your tools and equipment in good working order.
WARNING!! KEEP TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT
OUT OF THE REACH OF YOUNG CHILDREN
KEEP THE WORK AREA AS UNCLUTTERED AS
IS PRACTICAL,THIS INCLUDES PERSONNEL
AS WELL AS MATERIAL. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
SHOULD CHILDREN BE ALLOWED IN WORK AREAS.
The machine is not designed for use outside. Keep the
machine clean; it will enable you to more easily see any damage
that may have occurred. Clean the machine with a damp soapy
cloth if needs be, do not use any solvents or cleaners, as these
may cause damage to any plastic parts or to the electrical
components. It is good practice to leave the machine
unplugged until work is about to commence, also make sure
to unplug the machine when it is not in use, or unattended.To
avoid inadvertent ‘start up’, if your machine is not fitted with
a NVR system, ensure the switch is always returned to the OFF
position. Once you are ready to commence work, remove any
tools, objects or items that could inadvertently get ‘sucked up’
by the machine and place safely out of the way. Re-connect
the machine, ensuring the power cable is not ‘snagged’or
routed where it could be tripped over as you move about the
workshop; it is not too close to an unguarded heat source, or is
laid over or around a sharp edge.
If the work you are carrying out is liable to generate flying
grit, dust or chips wear the appropriate safety clothing,
goggles, gloves, masks etc. If the work operation appears to
be excessively noisy, wear ear-defenders. If you wear your hair
in a long style, wearing a cap, safety helmet, hairnet, even a
sweatband, will minimise the possibility of your hair being
caught up in the rotating parts of the machine. Likewise,
consideration should be given to the removal of rings and
wristwatches if these are liable to be a‘snag’ hazard.
Consideration should also be given to non-slip footwear, etc.
DO NOT use this machine if you are tired, your attention is
wandering or you are being subjected to distraction.
DO NOT use this machine within the designated safety areas of
flammable liquid stores or in areas where there may be volatile
gases. Above all, OBSERVE…. make sure you know what is
happening around you and USE YOUR COMMON SENSE.
Specific Safety for Dust Extractors
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 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.

Specific Safety for Dust Extractors
5
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 plastic hosing to connect
units together .
Try to route the power cable and the hosing away from busy
walkways.
DO NOT allow the inlet to become ‘dead ended’, or block or
restrict the outlet, this puts undue strain on the motor and can
lead to overheating.

at peak performance.
• Check the filter for signs of build-up of sawdust and move
the shaker paddle handle (4) back and forth to remove any
built-up dust and debris from inside, see fig 19. Then clean
the outside with a vacuum cleaner.

Ducting System
13
Many manufacturers will state the volume of air required for each machine in their manual. If
not, note the size of the extraction port and use the chart below
Basic design
• Keep it simple, don’t over complicate the system.
• Keep it straight, ducting runs should all be straight with as few bends as possible.
• Keep transfer duct as big as required by the extractor, this should get larger towards the
extractor.
• Keep flexible duct to a minimum. If the machine cannot be connected to the system by
solid ducting only then should flexible ducting be used for the final connection.
• Keep branches joining the duct to a maximum of 45° When branches join the main duct
ideally they must enter at the side or the top at an angle of a maximum of 45° towards the
direction of flow.
• Fit blastgates to maximise efficiency and balance the system.
The negative pressure inside the ducting draws air into the system. Incorrect sizing of the
duct, too many bends coupled to lots of flexible hose induces losses into the system and in
badly designed systems this is akin to leaving the hand brake on in a vehicle.
Example: for a single machine with a 100mm port an extractor of a minimum of 700m³/hr
will be sufficient. For multiple machines count the number of extraction ports per size, multi-
ply the number of each size by the volume of air required.Then add the results per outlet size
to give you a total volume of air required.This total is for all the machines operating at the
same time.You then must decide which and how many machines will be used at the same
time. Divide the total volume of air required by this number and add 500m³/hr. Choose an
extractor that gives the airflow required by your calculations. Look at the main inlet size of the
extractor, this is the size of the main duct to be used. In larger systems the ducting should get
larger towards the extraction unit as more machines that are in use are added to maintain the
correct air speed in the duct.This is very important; if the airflow is too low a build up of dust
and debris will occur and is a fire and explosion risk. If the air speed is high then the system
will be noisy but there will be no deposits in the ducting. Always use blastgates to close off
airflow to machines that are not in use.

LEV Testing
16
Why should I bother with LEV?
The law says you must control the risks from these substances
(the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH)
Regulations). Installing LEV may help you to do this.
For more information about other ways of eliminating or
reducing airborne contamination at work look, at HSE’s COSHH
website, hse.gov.uk/coshh.
Ref Code: HSG258
The book above provides guidance on the supply of local
exhaust ventilation (LEV) equipment. It describes the
principles and good practice of deciding on, designing,
commissioning and testing cost-effective LEV.
The guidance is written for the suppliers of LEV goods and
services, but will also be helpful for employers and managers in
medium-sized businesses, and trade union and employee safety
representatives. All of these groups need to work together to
provide, maintain and use effective LEV and to reduce exposure
from inhalation of hazardous substances.
The book contains information about the roles and legal
responsibilities of suppliers and of their clients as employers;
competence; principles of good design practice for effective
LEV hoods and their classification; ducts, air movers, air cleaners;
and system documentation with checking and maintenance
schedules, and the marking of defective equipment.
It also includes guidance on the specification of LEV; the
supplier’s quotation; commissioning; zone marking; the user
manual and logbook; testing and hood labels.
