General Instruction for 230V Machines
Specific Safety for Dust Extractors
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.
WARNING!! KEEP TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT
OUT OF REACH OF YOUNG CHILDREN
Mains Powered Tools
• Tools are supplied with an attached 13 Amp plug.
• Inspect the cable and plug to ensuree 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.
KEEP WORK AREA AS UNCLUTTERED AS IS
PRACTICAL. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD
CHILDREN BE ALLOWED IN WORK AREAS.
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 get-
ting 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 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.
ONLY USE DUST EXTRACTION BAGS
WITH THIS MACHINE NOT DOMESTIC
WASTE BAGES!
DO NOT PLACE DUST EXTRACTION
BAGES OVER THE FILTER ASSEMBLY!

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.
• Check the filter for signs of buildup of sawdust and move
the shaker paddle handle back and forth to remove any
built up dust and debris from inside, see fig 41-42. Then
clean the outside with a vacuum cleaner.

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.
