GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING: Do not attempt to operate the machine until you have read thoroughly
and understood completely all instructions, rules, etc. contained in this manual.
Failure to comply may result in accidents involving fire, electric shock, or serious
personal injury. Keep this owner's manual and review frequently for continuous safe
operation.
1. Know your machine. For your own safety, read the owner's manual
carefully. Learn its application and limitations, as well as specific
potential hazards pertinent to this machine.
2. Make sure all tools are properly earthed.
3. Keep guards in place and in working order. If a guard must be
removed for maintenance or cleaning, make sure it is properly
replaced before using the machine again.
4. Remove adjusting keys and spanners. Form a habit of checking to
see that the keys and adjusting spanners are removed from the
machine before switched it on.
5. Keep your work area clean. Cluttered areas and workbenches
increase the chance of an accident.'
6. Do not use in dangerous environments. Do not use power tools in
damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work areas well
illuminated.
7. Keep children away. All visitors should be kept a safe distance
8. from the work area.
9. Make workshop childproof. Use padlocks, master switches
and remove starter keys.
10.Do not force the machine. It will do the job better and be safer at
the rate for which it is designed.
11.Use the right tools. Do not force the machine or attachments to do a job
for which they are not designed. Contact the manufacturer or distributor
if there is any question about the machine's suitability for a particular
task.
12.Wear proper apparel. Avoid loose clothing, gloves, ties, rings, bracelets,
and jewellery which could get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is
recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
13.Always use safety glasses. Normal spectacles only have impact resistant
lenses. They are not safety glasses.
14.Do not over-reach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
15.Maintain the machine in good condition. Keep the machine clean for best and
safest performance. Follow instructions for lubrication and changing
accessories.
16.Disconnect the machine from power source before servicing and when
changing the blade.
17.Never leave the machine running unattended. Turn the power off. Do not
leave the machine until it comes to a complete stop.
18.Do not use any power tools while under the effects of drugs, alcohol or
medication.
19.Always wear a face or dust mask if operation creates a lot of dust and/or
chips. Always operate the tool in a well ventilated area and provide for proper
dust removal. Use a suitable dust extractor.
ADDITIONAL RULES FOR DUST
EXTRACTORS
1. Dust extractors are frequently moved around the workshop. Make sure that
mains cables and extractor hoses are positioned in such a way that they do
not present a trip hazard.
2. Do not pick up pieces of metal or chunks of wood.
3. Switch off and unplug the extractor before removing the collection bag and/or
filter.
4. Do not allow the collection bag to become over full.
5. When necessary, wash, thoroughly rinse and completely dry the filter bag.
Using a wet or damp filter bag will reduce its efficiency as it will quickly
become clogged.
6. Dispose of waste in accordance with local regulations.

Hobby Rating –Suitable for weekend DIY’ers and woodworking enthusiasts. Refers to
generally lighter weight machines with lower power ratings and smaller tooling capacities.
Typically only ever used by one person for short periods of time or longer periods
infrequently. Machinery should be well maintained in a clean, dry environment such as a
home workshop, garage or timber shed. Expected maximum use of 100 hours annually.
Please Note: Using a product in excess of its rating will void the manufacturer’s free
warranty.
Unpacking
All parts are contained in one
carton
Unpack the parts carefully and
check that everything is present as
shown.
If anything is missing contact your
retailer immediately.
Assembly
Leave all bolts finger tight until
each castor is fitted.
Place the machine on its back and
bolt one of the castors to the
baseplate using four dome head
M5 bolts with washers and nuts on
the underside. Note that the longer
edge of the fixing plate should be
horizontal.
Continue with the remaining three
castors.
Stand the extractor on its castors.
Insert two M6 bolts into the top
holes of the square extractor outlet
and slip the rubber gasket onto
them.
Fit the plastic adapter over the
bolts and secure with washers and
nuts. Add the remaining four bolts.
Tighten the nuts when all six bolts
are in position.
Fix the handle to the fan casing
using the two M6 bolts supplied.
Fit the dust collection bag over the
round outlet and secure it in place
with the jubilee clip supplied.
The dust bag is emptied through
the inlet after first removing it from
the extractor. Always ensure that
the machine is isolated before
removing the bag or connecting a
hose.
The extractor is now ready for use
in the horizontal mode after
connecting to the hose attached to
your woodworking machine.
170mm 50mm
Two wall brackets are supplied in
case you wish to wall mount the
extractor. Attach these to a
suitably strong wall using
appropriate fixings.
The extractor can now be wall
mounted by hooking the two cut
outs in the base over the wall
brackets. The castors can be left
in place, allowing the unit to be
quickly dismounted and moved
when required.
W685KIT Hose & Dust Hood Kit (Optional Accessory)
The Kit consists of a 3m length of 100mm diameter flexible hose, a dust hood and a support
arm that can be positioned in a convenient place to collect from bench top machinery, most
notably a woodturning lathe.
Two hose clamps securely attach the hose to the extractor and the hood. The hose can also
be used without the hood to connect to any woodworking machine with a 100mm diameter
dust outlet.
When fitted to the support arm the centre of the hood is at a height of 920mm.
Dust Hood opening size 240mm x 120mm.
Assembly
Attach the mounting bracket to the
extractor fan housing using the
two bolts provided.
Insert the reduced end of the
support arm into the mounting
bracket.
Attach the adjustable bracket
assembly to the dust hood using
the bolts, nuts and washers fitted
to the hood. Ensure that the heads
of the bolts are inside the hood
and the nuts/washers outside.
Insert the end of the adjustable
bracket into the support arm and
tighten the jubilee clip to fix in the
desired position.
Connect the flexible hose to the
dust hood and the extractor using
the hose clips supplied.
Adjust & lock the bracket and arm
assembly to position the hood as
required.
Using the Extractor
The W685 extractor is designed to collect wood dust, chips and shavings from the
woodworking machine, transport it into the collection bag and filter the clean air out.
Because this is a single bag machine, the same bag acts as collector and filter. The bag
should therefore be emptied when 50% full, otherwise there will not be enough surface area
to act as a filtration medium and performance will be impaired.
A 100mm diameter hose should be connected to the extractor inlet and secured with a
suitable hose clamp. Maximum recommended hose length is 3m. Many woodworking
machines are fitted with 100mm diameter dust outlets. When collecting from bench top
machines it may be necessary to use a reducer to connect to a smaller diameter outlet. Any
reducer should be fitted as close as possible to the woodworking machine in order to
maintain maximum performance –suction is reduced whenever airflow is restricted on this
type of extractor. Charnwood stock a large range of hoses, connectors and reducers, details
of which can be found on their website.
Always switch on the extractor before starting the woodworking machine. Allow it to continue
running for a few moments after the other machine is switched off in order to clear the hose.
