WGeneral Instructions for 240V Machines...
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.
Good Working Practices/Safety
Primary Precautions Mains Powered Tools and Machines
WARNING!!
!
KEEP TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT OUT
OF THE REACH OF YOUNG CHILDREN
These machines are supplied with a moulded 13 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
13 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.
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.
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.
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 (if any) 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 work with cutting or boring tools of any description if you are tired, your
attention is wandering or you are being subjected to distraction. A deep cut, a lost
fingertip or worse; is not worth it!

General Instructions for 240V Machines...
DO NOT use this machine within the designated safety areas of flammable liquid stores or in areas
where there may be volatile gases. There are very expensive, very specialised machines for working in
these areas, THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM.
Above all, OBSERVE…. make sure you know what is happening around you, and USE YOUR
COMMON SENSE.
Specific Safety Considerations 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.
If you are not using ‘clear’ extraction hose, periodically remove the hose to check that the
inlet to the machine is not getting restricted.
If possible, try to connect everything together electrically, to eliminate static shocks.
Try to route the power cable and the hosing away from busy walkways.
NOTE!!
!
DO NOT FIT PLASTIC WASTE BAGS TO
THIS MACHINE
!
!
!
DO NOT allow the inlet to become ‘dead ended’, or block or restrict the
outlet, this puts undue work on the motor and can lead to overheating.

This machine will cope with waste shavings from most bench-top machines and the smaller floor
standing machines, especially bandsaws, circular saws, bench top surface planers and hand-held
power tools (with the accessory power tool hose kit), (part no. 718085). Below are two examples
showing the vacuum extractor connected to a hand-held sander & floor standing bandsaw.
The picture above shows the
vacuum extractor with a 100mm to 51mm
reducer adaptor, ((part no. 210616) enabling
it to be connected to a hand-held sander.
The picture above
shows the vacuum
extractor connected
to a floor standing
bandsaw, using the
100mm adaptor moulding that comes as
standard.

63mm Dust Extraction Kit (part no. 410063)
Another option is a ducting system package complete with elbows, blast gates and
adaptors for connecting up your machines to a workshop extractor. Simply fix a horizontal
pipe to the wall or ceiling with the clips supplied and then take branch pipes to exactly
where the extraction points are needed in the workshop, using the T junctions and 63mm
flexible hose.
The picture above shows the vacuum extractor
connected to the 63mm dust extraction kit.

Replace the micron bag & filter assembly, push firmly so the assembly is flush up against
the motor casing. Lower the motor head assembly back onto the drum, replace the motor
clamping ring & lock it, securing it in position.
Connect the Vacuum Extractor to the mains & continue with operation.
Weekly
•CHECK the inlet duct, remove any accumulated debris.
•CHECK the inlet hose for splits and cracks, repair as necessary.
•CHECK the micron bag for wear and tear. If wear or fraying is occurring, replace the
micron bag, see pages 11 & 12 “Changing the Micron Bag”.
•CHECK the motor for dust, sawdust, shavings etc, build up. If this has occurred, blow out
with L.P. air or clean with a vacuum cleaner. (If ‘blowing out’ remember to wear eye
protection and dependent on the type of dust, consideration should be given to face
masking).
•CHECK the drum container & empty if full.
Monthly
•Carry out the weekly checks.
•Dependent on usage clean the vacuum extractor over using a damp cloth.
