10. Troubleshooting
Makesurethepowerisswitchedoffandunpluggedbefore
inspectingorrepairingthemachine!
Problem1: Themachinestillworks,buttheairflowisveryweak
andsuctionpowerisgreatlyreduced.
Cause: AirInletisblockedorforeignbodyexistsinsidetheduct.
The filter becomes saturated and hence gets blocked
and gives an alarm. Usually only the prefilter gets
clogged quickly with large particles and needs to be
vacuumedorreplaced.
Solution: Turnoffthepowerandopenthetopcover.Checkif
there is any foreign objects blocking the air inlet. Then
check if the air vent is blocked or not. If the suction
power of the emptyloaded machine is normal, it means
thefilterneedstobereplaced.
Problem2: Themachineshutsdownautomaticallyafteritisjust
started. Even if you restart the machine, the same
problemhappensagain.
Cause: Theairflowthroughthemachineisobstructed.Asa
result, the starting current of the fan becomes very high,
hence the machine shuts down automatically for self
protection.

7. FilterUse&Maintenance
This product has consumable replacement filters. They need to
becleanedorreplacedperiodicallytoensureproperoperation.
1. Dust/greasePan
In the FSL300 fume extractor, exhaust is forced
upwards. When the FSL300 fume extractor is turned
off, large particles should fall down and be caught by the
dust/grease pan. Empty the dust/grease pan out
periodicallytogetridofthisdebris.
2. LargePleatedPrefilter
The large pleated prefilter removes the largest dust
particles. Vacuum it periodically and replace it when the
air flow is reduced and vacuuming is no longer effective.
The large pleated prefilter can be removed by twisting it
totheleft.
3. HEPAFilterCartridge
Load the HEPA Filter Cartridge with the arrow pointing
up on top of the large pleated filter and below the
activated carbon filters. It should be immediately
cleaned off by vacuuming when any accumulated dust
affects the suction power. When cleaning does not help
replace the Middle HEPA Filter with a new one.
Remember to unlock the twist clamps to release the
filtersandrelockthetwistclampswhenaddedbackin.
4. ActivatedCarbonFilterCartridges
Load 5x Activated Carbon Filter Cartridges on top of the
HEPA Filter Cartridge. The cartridges are marked with
an arrow in the direction of airflow. In the FSL300 these
cartridges should be loaded with the arrow facing up. If
there is good airflow but the odors are not removed, the
Activated Carbon Filter is consumed and must be

replaced. Remember to unlock the twist clamps to
release the filters and relock the twist clamps when

9. ImportantUseConsiderations
Whileusingthemachine,theambienttemperaturerangeofthe
gas and the dust which is sucked into the air inlet should be
within the range 1560ºC. Never use the machine when the
temperatureishigherorlowerthanthistemperaturerange.
Whenusingthemachine,thehumidityofthegasandthedust
sucked into the air inlet should be between the range of
40%80%. If the humidity is excessively high, the activated
carbon filter element will become rapidly saturated with water
andconsumed.
FullSpectrumLaserLLCFSL300UserManual,2016,Rev.A

Donotusethismachinewithoutallfilterelements
because the fumes or the dust particles may be sucked into the
air blower and the control system causing damage. Any
operation without all filter elements installed is not covered
under warranty. Use only OEM replacement filter elements
fromFullSpectrumLaser.
Do not continue to use the machine when the HEPA Filter
Cartridge or the PreFilter is clogged as this will increase motor
wear and shorten the service life of the machine. Please clean
and/or replace the filter elements regularly to ensure proper
machineoperation.
The warranty will not cover any losses or damage that may be
incurredbytheuserifinstructionsarenotfollowed.
