dusts and chips from most benchtop machines and the
smaller floor standing machines, especially bandsaws,
circular saws,sanders,scroll saws etc.
There are adaptors to suit many machines.The power head
has a grab carrying handle and is fixed to the drum with a
metal quick release strap.
Fitted with a two stage filter comprising a cartridge filter
and outer paper filter, this will provide filtration of 1 micron.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR 230V MACHINES
4
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 UK 3 pin plug,
fitted with 13 amp fuse.
•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.

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR DUST EXTRACTORS
5
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. 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 the machine becomes less efficient.
The particle filter can be cleaned by using an ‘M’ class
vacuum cleaner, clean the outside 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 however, 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.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
SHOULD CHILDREN BE ALLOWED
IN WORK AREAS. KEEP THE WORK
AREA AS UNCLUTTERED AS IS
PRACTICAL,THIS INCLUDES
PERSONNEL AS WELL AS
MATERIAL.
WARNING! KEEP TOOLS AND
EQUIPMENT OUT OF THE REACH
OF YOUNG CHILDREN.
ONLY USE DUST EXTRACTION
BAGS WITH THIS MACHINE NOT
DOMESTIC WASTE BAGS!
