Menda HEPA Vac Instruction Manual

Figure 1: Menda® HEPA Vac Kit
Description
The Menda HEPA Vac is a compact, high
performance, field service vacuum. This model has
been specifically designed with ease of portability in
mind. The powerful 600-watt motor can handle almost
any job. It is for those technicians who require a small,
lightweight vacuum for in use in and around sensitive
electronic equipment such as copy and fax machines,
telecom equipment, computers and printers. The
standard 99.97% efficient @ .3 micron HEPA filter
cartridge is ideal for fumes, atmospheric dust, lead,
glass, pollens, soot, drywall dust, and all color toner.
The filter is fully contained for safe, easy disposal.
The HEPA Vac is safe for ESD susceptible
electronics. The electronic line filter prevents EMI/RFI
noise, and the utensils are static dissipative. The
internal ground-wire in the flex-hose and enclosure
virtually eliminate static charge generation from
utensils.
Note: The Menda®HEPA Vac is designed for
commercial use only. Keep the body of the HEPA Vac
12” (30cm) away from all ESD sensitive items.
Inspection
Remove the HEPA Vac from the shipping carton and
inspect for exterior damage.
