COULD AMPUTATE FINGERS, GRAB LOOSE CLOTHING AND NECKTIES ETC, AND
PROPEL DUST AT VERY HIGH VELOCITIES.
Connect the inlet hose to the outlet on your woodworking appliance using the
inlet adaptor(s). Start the extractor using the ON/OFF switch (I=on/O=off).
To switch ON, press the switch cover down, slide in direction of arrow (see
below) and lift up, this will expose the ON/OFF buttons. Push the ON button,
(green button ‘I’). DO NOT close the cover as this will switch the machine OFF
again.

NOTE: When emptying the waste bag, take care of flying dust, wear
safety goggles and a dust mask. Ensure there are no other people
or animals in the close vicinity that may be affected if sawdust

MAINTENANCE
Excessive dust in the motor can cause overheating. Ensure all air vents are
clear. To avoid eye injury or adverse reaction to dust, clean the machine by
blowing out the air vents using low pressure compressed air where possible.
Check the power cable to ensure it is free from cracks, bare wires etc. avoid
using solvents when cleaning plastic parts, most plastics are susceptible to
damage from the various types of commercial solvents.
All bearings in this machine are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high
grade lubricant for the tools lifetime under normal operating conditions,
therefore no further lubrication is required.
Occasionally it may be necessary to manually clean the impeller. To do this
proceed as follows.
1. Switch OFF and unplug from the socket.
2. Remove 12 screws securing the inlet cover, (6), and remove the cover to
expose the impeller.
3. Clean impeller using a brush, cleaning cloth, vacuum cleaner and/or low
pressure compressed air.
CAUTION: BEWARE OF SHARP EDGES.
If any repairs (other than the above cleaning) becomes necessary, it should
be carried out by an authorised service centre.
Ensure the hose is kept in good condition. A damaged hose will seriously effect
the efficiency of the dust extractor and should be replaced. Contact your
CLARKE dealer for replacements.
CARE & STORAGE
1. When not in use, switch off and unplug from the power supply and ensure
the power cable is not left as a hazard for persons to trip over.
2. With the dust extractor unplugged from the power supply, use a dry cloth
to wipe over the casing. Do not use solvents, thinners or alcohol to clean
the dust extractor, as these chemicals will damage the finish.
3. Store the dust extractor in a secure, dry place, out of the reach of children.
DO NOT leave it exposed to the elements and avoid direct sunlight, direct
heat, rain/moisture etc.
4. The base of the machine is provided with two holes for the hooks to be
located into, so that the collector bag is hanging downwards, to use the
machine this way, it is necessary to remove the castors, (store safely for
future use).
