IMPORTANT! DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE UNTIL
YOU HAVE READ THOROUGHLY, AND UNDERSTAND
COMPLETELY, ALL PRECAUTIONS, INSTRUCTIONS
AND INFORMATION ON THESE PAGES. THIS
MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY AND
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. IT SHOULD BE
RETAINED WITH THE MACHINE FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - MECHANICAL
! DO NOT OPERATE UNIT WITHOUT GUARDS IN
PLACE OR WITH DAMAGED GUARDS.
! DO NOT DEFEAT ANY OF THE SAFETY FEATURES.
! DO NOT PLACE FINGERS OR APPENDAGES NEAR
MOVING PARTS OR IN OR NEAR OPENINGS IN
GUARDS.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - ELECTRICAL
! ALWAYS UNPLUG UNIT FROM POWER SUPPLY
PRIOR TO ANY MAINTENANCE.
! DO NOT RUN UNIT WITH INCORRECT LINE
VOLTAGE.
! NEVER RUN MACHINE WITH DAMAGED OR WORN
POWER CORD.
! NEVER MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. IF IT WILL
NOT FIT INTO THE OUTLET, HAVE THE PROPER
OUTLET INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS. Grounding provides a
common return path for electric current to reduce the
risk of electric shock. This machine is supplied with an
electric cord with an equipment-grounding conductor
and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a
matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check
with a licensed electrician if in doubt as to whether the
machine is properly grounded.
SAFETY FIRST - USE BEST PRACTICES
ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are
NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting
operation is dusty.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form a
habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches
are removed from machine before turning it on.
KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents. Always leave at least 12” (305
mm) of space around all sides and top of unit.
DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not
use or locate machine in high-humidity environments, or
expose to rain. Keep work areas well lighted.
WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing,
such as gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, necklaces
or any other clothing or jewelry that might get caught
in moving parts. This is not an all-inclusive list. Wear
protective hair covering to contain long hair. Non-slip
footwear is recommended.
DON’T OVERREACH. Maintain proper footing and
balance at all times.
MAINTAIN BLADES WITH CARE. Keep blades sharp
and clean for optimal performance. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing blades and all accessories.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SUPPLY.
Unplug the unit before servicing and when changing
accessories.
DO NOT EXCEED THE UNIT’S MAXIMUM MATERIAL
SPECIFICATIONS. Eraser’s warranty will be null and void
if machine has been used in any manner that is contrary
to these instructions.
CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before continued use
of the machine, the guard and all moving parts should be
carefully inspected to ensure that nothing is damaged.
Ensure proper alignment of moving parts. Check for any
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other
condition(s) that may affect operation. Any damaged
part(s) should be properly repaired or replaced prior to
any continued use of the machine.
ONLY ALLOW TRAINED AND QUALIFIED
PERSONNEL TO OPERATE UNIT. Always keep these
instructions within reach of the machine.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES ONLY. Consult
this operating manual for recommended accessories. Use
only parts supplied by The Eraser Company, Inc. Use of
improper accessories will void Eraser’s warranty and may
increase risk of injury.
ALL REPAIRS SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY AN
ERASER COMPANY REPRESENTATIVE ONLY.
Unauthorized disassembly of machines will void Eraser’s
warranty.
WHEN USING MACHINERY, ALL SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS – INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
THOSE LISTED ABOVE - SHOULD BE FOLLOWED
TO REDUCE THE RISKS OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK,
AND PERSONAL INJURY, AND DEATH.

SET-UP:
The FE1 is shipped fully assembled and ready to
use.
The FE1 has two slots in its base to provide quick
and easy mounting to a bench surface. The unit may
also be wall mounted by using the mounting holes in
the base, instead of the slots.
The deector of the FE1 is factory installed to deect
the exhaust out the top of the unit. If desired, the
deector may be rotated at 90 degree intervals to
allow the exhaust to be deected out the right, left or
bottom of the unit.
To change the deector, use a 5/32" Allen wrench
to remove the 2 button head cap screws located at
the top inside edge of the deector. Lift the deector
off the unit, being careful not to bend the tab on the
bottom of the deector.
Remove one or both of the two remaining button
head cap screws on the unit as necessary, and
reinstall them in the two holes along the side of
the unit where the bottom of the deector will be
located in its new position. Be sure the wire guard
is properly aligned. Replace the deector in its new
position by rst inserting the tab into the FE1 base
and then reinstalling the remaining two screws.
The FE1, due to its construction, presents a minimal
danger of accumulated static charge. A screw in the
base is provided to attach an additional ground, if
desired.
OPERATION:
To operate the FE1, plug it into the appropriate
power supply and turn it on using the lighted switch
on the front of the unit. Using the two adjusting
knobs on either side of the unit, the FE1 can be
swiveled to bring the unit closer to the source of the
fumes for more efcient operation.
! CAUTION: The lter on the FE1 is ammable.
Care should be taken when placing the FE1 so
it is not too close to exposed ame or in direct
contact with a heat source.
MAINTENANCE:
From time to time it will be necessary to replace the
lter.
The lters are available in packages of 3 (see
Ordering Information). The lter media is activated
carbon. Its capacity to adsorb odors varies with the
concentration in air and type of chemicals in the
fumes. The lter media is ammable, so care should
be taken not to place the FE1 too close to exposed
ames or in direct contact with a heat source.
To replace the lter, remove the two thumbscrews
on the top of the FE1, and remove the hood. Slide
the old lter out of the brackets and replace with a
new lter. Reinstall the hood onto the unit.
No other maintenance is required. A Material Safety
Data Sheet for the FE1's lter is available upon
request.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
PROBLEM: Unit makes excessive noise when
running.
SOLUTION: Check that wire guard is properly
aligned and not hitting fan.
PROBLEM: Filter is too thick to slide in brackets.
SOLUTION: Depress edges when installing in
bracket. Filter thicknesses will vary slightly.
PROBLEM: Unit is not drawing fumes through lter.
SOLUTION: Change lter.
IMPORTANT: NO LIABILITY WILL BE INCURRED
BY THE ERASER COMPANY FOR INJURY,
DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE CAUSED
BY A PRODUCT WHICH HAS BEEN SET UP,
OPERATED, AND/OR INSTALLED CONTRARY
TO THIS OPERATING MANUAL, OR WHICH HAS
BEEN SUBJECTED TO MISUSE, NEGLIGENCE,
OR ACCIDENT, OR WHICH HAS BEEN REPAIRED
OR ALTERED BY ANYONE OTHER THAN
ERASER, OR WHICH HAS BEEN USED IN A
MANNER OR FOR A PURPOSE FOR WHICH THE
PRODUCT WAS NOT DESIGNED.
