Electrical Connections
This appliance is fitted with a standard, 230 Volt (50Hz) BS 1363 approved 13 amp plug, for connection to a standard domestic 13 Amp electrical supply. We strongly recommend that connection be via a Residual Current Device (RCD).
WARNING!THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
IMPORTANT: Should the plug be replaced, it is important to note that he wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code
Green &Yellow .................................................Earth Blue...................................................................Neutral Brown ...............................................................Live
As the colours of the flexible lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying terminals in your plug proceed as follows: • Connect GREEN & YELLOW coloured cord to plug terminal marked with a letter “E” or Earth
symbol “ ” or coloured GREEN or GREEN & YELLOW.
• Connect BROWN coloured cord to plug terminal marked with a letter “L” or coloured RED. • Connect BLUE coloured cord to plug terminal marked with a letter “N” or coloured BLACK. If this appliance is fitted with a plug which is moulded onto the electric cable (i.e. non-rewirable) please note: 1. The plug must be thrown away if it is cut from the electric cable.There is a danger of electric
shock if it is subsequently inserted into a socket outlet.
2. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted. 3. Should you wish to replace a detachable fuse carrier, ensure that the correct replacement
is used (as indicated by marking or colour code).
FuseRating
The fuse in the plug must be replaced with one of the same rating (13 amps) and this replacement must be ASTA approved to BS1362.
IMPORTANT:
If a cable extension is needed, it is essential to comply with the following data.

Operation
DO NOT OPERATE WITHOUT ALL PARTS IN PLACE! Do not attempt to clean, remove/attach dust bags or carry out any servicing to the unit whilst it is in operation, ALWAYS ensure it is switched off and isolated from the mains by removing the plug from the socket. CAUTION : The blower housing contains a high speed fan blade that could amputate fingers, grab loose clothing and neckties etc, and propel dust at very high velocities. A suitable length of flexible hose can be fitted to the collector inlet using the adapter supplied, (item No 37 in the parts list on page 12). The collector can also be connected directly to the woodworking machine being used, using the appropriate hose and adapters which can be purchased separately from your nearest Clarke dealer. To switch ON, press the switch cover (see fig. 8) down and slide in direction of arrow and lift up, this will expose the ON/OFF buttons, (see fig .9 ) Push the ON button, (green button ‘I’). DO NOT close the cover as this will switch the machine OFF again.

Maintenance
Always inspect the machine before use, and ensure it is in top condition. 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 sound and 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 etc., in this tool 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 will be necessary to manually clean the impellor, to do this proceed as follows. 1. Switch OFF and isolate from the main electrical supply by removing the plug from the
socket, ensure it is not possible to be plugged back in accidentally by somebody else by tying up etc, attach a warning label.
2. Remove 12 screws securing the inlet cover, (6), and remove cover to expose the
impellor.
3. Clean impellor using a brush, cleaning cloth, vacuum cleaner and/or low pressure
compressed air.
CAUTION : Beware of sharp edges.
If any servicing (other than the above cleaning) becomes necessary, it should be carried out by an authorised service centre. NOTE : The speed of this motor cannot be regulated or changed.
NEVER leave unattended with cover removed
