MIRKA 1230 Series User manual

MIRKA® DUST EXTRACTOR 1230
Today, health and safety issues are becoming more and more important.
Sanding tools and abrasives are made more and more ecient, with focus
on dust-free applications. This development places higher requirements on
the dust extractors. To meet these demands, the Mirka dust extractor range
has been extended with new versions of Mirka dust extractors:
Mirka® Dust Extractor 1230 L PC
Mirka® Dust Extractor1230 L AFC (AutoFilterCleaning)
Mirka® Dust Extractor 1230 M AFC (AutoFilterCleaning)
The 1230 dust extractor range is equipped with a high-performance 1200 W motor and a 1-stage turbine
that creates 250 mbar suction with an airow of 4500 l/min. The new 1230 dust extractors include the
auto-start function. As the dust extractor only runs when the power tool is in use, thanks to the auto start
function, there is less noise and at the same time the dust extractor gains a longer lifetime. Bigger wheels
signicantly improve maneuverability on uneven oor surfaces. Another advantage is that the lter is
easy to reach through a separate opening in the back without removing the upper part.

2.4 In explosive or inflammable atmosphere
CAUTION
This machine is not suitable for use in explosive or inflammable atmospheres or where such atmospheres are likely to
be produced by the presence of volatile liquid or inflammable gas or vapour.
3. Control / Operation
CAUTION
Damage due to unsuitable mains voltage. The appliance can be damaged as a result of being connected to an
unsuitable mains voltage.
• Ensure that the voltage shown on the rating plate corresponds to the voltage of the local mains power supply.
3.1 Starting and operating the machine
Check that the electrical switch is switched off (in position 0). Check that suitable filters are installed in the machine.
Then connect the suction hose into the suction inlet on the machine by pushing the hose forward until it fits firmly
into the inlet. When used for dust extraction together with a dust-producing tool, connect the end of the suction hose
using an appropriate adapter. Connect the plug into a proper electrical outlet. Put the electrical switch into position I in
order to start the motor.
Turn to I: Activate the dust extractor.
Turn clockwise for speed control.
Turn to 0: Stop the dust extractor.
Turn to sander: Activate Auto-On/Off.
Operation – turn counter-clockwise for speed control.
Turn to I: Activate the dust extractor.
Turn to : Stop the dust extractor. Permanent power on socket.
Turn to I: Activate Auto-On/Off operation.
Turn to I + AFC Off: Activate the dust extractor with deactivated Auto Filter Cleaning.
Turn to sander + Off: Activate Auto-On/Off operation with deactivated Auto Filter Cleaning.
Speed control operation on separate rotary knob.
3.2 Auto-On / Off socket outlet for power tools
CAUTION
Appliance socket
The appliance socket is designed for electrical auxiliary equipment; see technical data for reference.
• Prior to plugging in an appliance, always switch off the machine and the appliance that is to be connected.
• Read the operating instructions for the appliance to be connected and observe the safety notes contained in these.
An earthed appliance socket is integrated in the machine. An external power tool can be connected there. The socket
features permanent power on when the switch is set to the position, i.e. the machine can be used as an extension
cord.
In position , the machine can be switched on and off from the connected power tool.
Dirt is picked up from the source of dust immediately. To comply with regulations, only approved dust-producing tools
should be connected.
The maximum power consumption of the connected electrical appliance is stated in the “Specifications” section.
Before turning the switch to position , ensure that the tool connected to the appliance socket is switched off.
en

Mirka® Dust Extractor • 1230 L • 230V • PC & AFC 93
3.3 Push & Clean
The “PC”machine is equipped with a semiautomatic filter cleaning system, Push & Clean. The filter cleaning system
must be actuated when the suction performance starts to fade. Regular use of the filter cleaning feature maintains
suction performance and increases the lifetime of the filter. For instructions, see the quick reference guide.
3.4 AFC – Auto Filter Cleaning
The “AFC” machine is equipped with an automatic filter cleaning system, Auto Filter Cleaning. A frequent cleaning cycle
will automatically run during operation to ensure that suction performance is always at its best.
If suction performance decreases or in very dusty applications, a manual filter cleaning operation is recommended:
• Switch off the machine.
• Close the nozzles or suction hose opening with the palm of your hand.
• Turn the switch to position “I” and let the machine operate at full speed for approx. 10 seconds with the suction hose
opening closed.
If suction power is still reduced take out the filter and clean it mechanically or replace the filter. For certain applications,
such as wet pick-up, it is recommended to turn off the Auto Filter Cleaning system. For details see chapter 3.1.
3.5 Antistatic connection
CAUTION
The machine is equipped with an antistatic system to discharge any static electricity that may develop during dust
pick-up.
The antistatic system is located in the front part of the motor top and creates an earth ground connection to the
inlet fitting of the container. For correct operation, the use of an electrically conductive or antistatic suction hose is
recommended. When inserting the optional disposal bag make sure the antistatic connection is maintained.
3.6 Motor cooling filter
To protect the electronics and motor, the machine is equipped with a motor cooling filter. Clean the motor cooling
filter regularly.
For areas with a high concentration of fine dust in the surrounding air it is recommended to equip the machine with
an optional motor cooling filter PET to prevent dust from settling inside the air channels and motor. Contact your local
sales representative.
CAUTION
If the motor cooling filter is clogged by dust the overload protection switch in the motor may be tripped. If this
happens, switch off the machine, clean the motor cooling filter and allow machine to cool for approx. 5 minutes.
3.7 Wet pick-up
CAUTION
The machine is equipped with a water level limit system which shuts off the machine when the maximum liquid level is
reached. When this occurs, switch off the machine. Disconnect the machine from the socket and empty the container.
Never pick up liquids without the water level limit system and filter in place.
Picking up liquids
• Do not pick up flammable liquids.
• Before liquids are picked up, always remove the filter bag/disposal bag and check that the water level limit works
properly.
• If foam appears, stop work immediately and empty the container.
• Clean the water level limiting device regularly and check for signs of damage.
