FOR COMMERCIAL USE

Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding
plug.
The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No
adaptor should be used with this appliance
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-Volt circuit snd a grounding attachment plug that looks like
the plug illustrated in sketch (A or B)
If the appliance is equipped of additional socket for power tools that looks like the socket
illustrated in sketch (C)
WARNING: “Risk of injury. This receptacle on appliance is energized when the
appliance is plugged into a receptacle”

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. While opening the carton, carefully inspect outside of the carton for
any sign of transportation damage, and if so, notify your shipper
immediately.
2. Open carton and remove hoses, hose connectors and other
accessories.
3. Lay carton on its back and wheel the unit out.
4. Remove all packing, release the unit and remove Motorhead/Vacuum
Head Assembly to make sure no packing materials are left inside the
unit.
5. Check to make sure the filter is seated firmly. If not, tighten at base of
filter unit.
7. Remove the vacuum hose assembly. Note that the air supply tube (the
smaller of the two) protrudes at both ends and is longer than the
vacuum hose.
8. Connect quick coupler male end to air outlets located on vacuum
head assembly.
9. Insert vacuum hoses.
10. Connect air supply to air inlet fitting (3/8" NPT female threads)
located at the back side of Motorhead. Air pressure should be
adjusted according to the pressure requirement of the air tools you
are using. Do not exceed 150 PSIG (10.3 kg/cm2). Some pressure
drop is unavoidable between the main air supply and the air tools due
to internal flow resistance in a long air hose.
A 1/2" INTERNAL DIAMETER SUPPLY AIR LINE is recommended.
Set regulator by installing an in-line pressure gage (Part No.
94315) at the inlet of the air tool being used. Run the tool and
adjust regulator such that there is 90 PSIG @ the tool inlet.
The installation of a Dynabrade Filter-Regulator-Lubricator (FRL
Part No. 11411) is highly recommended to protect the unit and
the air tools.
Where it is critical to avoid shocks or sparks caused by static
electricity, an air supply hose which is electrically conductive
and ground must be used.
11. All Dynabrade Vacuum Models come with a sample dust bag. Install
bag inside main body. Make sure that vacuum connection tube
protrudes through the hole in the bag.
12. Order dust bags (Part No. 96623) before you run out of them.
13. Return Motorhead/Vacuum Head Assembly to the unit and lock the
twor rim clamps to secure Motorhead/Vacuum Head Assembly in
position.
14. Connect your Dynabrade air tool or accessory and you are now ready
for working with the Dynabrade Portable Vacuum System.
THIS IS A PRECISION PIECE OF EQUIPMENT designed for dust extraction to keep your ENVIRONMENT
and your REPUTATION “DUST-FREE.” Read operating instructions before using Dynabrade Portable
Vacuum System and be thoroughly conversant with safety precautions in your locality.
Refer to the drawing and parts list for the name and location of parts.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Always wear safety glasses and any other safety items
required by law.
2. The vacuum system will operate by an on/auto/manual switch
located on the front of the Motorhead/Vacuum Head Assembly.
This switch must be turned on to activate the Motorhead.
3. VACUUM SPEED CONTROL: Unit is equipped with a one tool or
two tool speed setting.
4. ELECTRONIC THERMAL PROTECTION DEVICE: Unit is
equipped with a overload prevention system. If this feature is
activated a 20 MIN. COOL DOWN PERIOD inhibits use. After a
complete 20 min. cool down period has passed the Electronic
Thermal Protection Device will RE-SET automatically and
the unit will be on line ready for use.
5. VISUAL WARNING SIGNAL: Unit is equipped with a visual
warning (yellow) light to indicate when air velocity falls below
20m/s. Turn off vacuum and replace disposable collection bag.
The warning signal will RE-SET automatically and the unit will
be ready for use.
The following items should be well-noted for the effective use of the unit.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This unit must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock.
Where it is critical to avoid shocks or sparks caused by static
electricity, an electrically conductive and grounded air supply
hose must be used.
WARNING
Grounding by means of a ground wire between both ends of the air supply tubing
passing through vacuum hose is recommended.

OPERATING TIPS AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Keep machine clean to ensure optimum performance. After each
use, lift off vacuum head and knock dust from filter. After one hour
of continuous use, lift out the Motorhead/Vacuum Head Assembly
and check the amount of dust accumulated in the unit. Remove the
dust bag if necessary and replace with a new one. We recommend
a soft brush to clean the filter. DO NOT USE A BLOW GUN.
Decrease in Vacuum Performance
1. Clean the filter thoroughly and as often as necessary. The
filter used inside is water resistant and washable. To prevent
damage, do not use high pressure or solvent to wash the filter.
2. If the filter (P/N 80459) should become damaged or badly
clogged and cannot be cleaned, replace with a new one.
3. Check all the vacuum lines for blockage or leakage.
Vacuum Stops During Use
1. This vacuum is equipped with a Electronic Thermal Protection
Device. If the vacuum stops and the red indicator light appears
ON, the unit has shut down as a result of increased
temperature. Once the unit has regained a temperature that is
allowable for operation the vacuum will resume operation.
REMOVAL/INSTALLATION OF MOTORHEAD FROM MAIN ASSEMBLY
If the filter element becomes clogged or to clean the inner portions
of the drum (canister) the Motorhead Assembly must then be
removed to perform cleaning. When removal becomes necessary
for cleaning or other service, follow the procedures described
below.
Removal
1. Unplug the unit before attempting service or maintenance work.
2. Remove Top Lid by unlatching (2) hinges.
3. Use a conventional vacuum cleaner to clean entire inside of
Motorhead/Vacuum Head Assembly and drum (canister).
Upon completion of the service work, install top lid according to
the following procedure:
Installation
1. Place cleaned unit onto the drum (canister) and latch (2)
hinges to properly attach the lid. Unit is now ready for
operation.
TILT-N-CLEAN OPERATION INSTRUCTION
Unit has a Tilt-n-Clean feature to aid in overall functionality of the
work equipment and work environment:
1. Unplug the unit before attempting service or maintenance
work.
2. Unclamp and remove Motorhead/Vacuum Head Assembly.
Drum (canister) is now able to be tilted backwards and emptied.
Dispose of debris properly.
3. Or, Pull side release hinges away from the drum (canister)
and remove the entire drum (canister) from the trolley. With
drum (canister) removed dispose of debris properly.
