Compressor / Fan On & Off
The dust extractor is provided with an air pulse cleaning system which increases the life of the filter cartridges.
This system works by use of pressurized air, built up by a belt driven compressor. The air is led through a
water separator to the pulse system.
The conditioned air then passes a control valve which regulates the system pressure, and then builds up
pressure in the pulse tank.
The pressurized air is used to generate a pulse of air which cleans the filters from the inside. With every pulse
of the pulse system all dust and particles are released from the filter surface and end up in the dust bin.
In the case of dust harmful to health, contact the local health and safety authorities, and observe national
regulations in force both during use and disposal.
In addition to the Operating Instructions general and legal regulations regarding accident prevention and
environmental protection must be complied with and indicated!
Such duties may for example relate to the handling of hazardous substances or to the provision and wearing of
personal protection equipment.
