Menda HEPA Vac Service manual

Figure 1: Menda® Vacuums
Description
The Menda HEPA Vac and Service Vac are 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 use in and
around sensitive electronic equipment such as copy,
pick & place, & SMT 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. An alternative is Menda now also
has an environmentally friendly filter that is less
expensive. Instead of the HEPA filter we offer a
corrugated shell with replaceable bags. This filter is
suitable for most electronic applications. This is the
standard filter that comes with the Service Vac.
The HEPA Vac and Service Vac are 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 and Service Vac are
designed for commercial use only. Keep the body of the
vacuum 12” (30cm) away from all ESD sensitive items.
Inspection
Remove the HEPAVac or Service Vac from the shipping
carton and inspect for exterior damage.
