Vacuum Cleaner and Blower
Installation, Operation and Maintenance
Description
Compact lightweight blower / vacuum cleaner designed
for precise removal and collection of dry dust particles
and debris from electrostatic static sensitive devices
(ESDS). The conductive nozzles drain-off any static
build-up to earth. The 231710 features a speed control
dial allowing for complete adjustment of suction levels.
In order to comply with EN61340-5 recommendations
for working in an ESD protected area (EPA), the
appliance housing, nozzles, hose, shoulder strap,
cable and accessories are fully conductive. The
vacuum cleaner can retain dust and fine dry particles
as small as 0.3 micron, the vacuum cleaner is fitted
with a double-layer paper filter bag and an electrostatic
charged micromotor filter.
The appliance can also be converted in seconds into
a powerful blower for dust removal in areas otherwise
not accessible - the blower’s air-current is CFC-free and
contains no oil or water residue.
