inlet adaptor(s). Start the extractor using the ON/OFF switch (I=on/O=off).
Take care not to suck in foreign objects such as screws, nails, large pieces of
plastic or wood.
Empty the dust extractor after use and clean it when required. Dislodge as
much imbedded debris as possible from the filter. Refit the filter over the motor
inlet.
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.

to wipe over the casing. Do not use solvents, thinners or alcohol to clean
the dust extractor, as these chemicals will damage the finish.
