6 Electric safety
 Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a
risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if
you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
 Do not modify the plug provided with the machine. If it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
 Before using the machine, make sure that the power & voltage corresponds
with the voltage shown on the machines rating plate.
 Do not leave machine when plugged in. Unplug cord from outlet when not
in use and before cleaning or servicing machine.
 Cables damaged through crushing or splitting can be dangerous if used
and should be replaced immediately. Risk of personal injury.
 Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If the machine is not working as it
should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors or dropped in water.
Make sure it is repaired by a qualified person.

Operating Manual
PD1/PD2/PD3
2022 rev. 6.0
 If using an extension cord, make sure the cord rating is suitable for this
machine.
 Connect to a properly grounded outlet only. See grounding instructions.
7 Thermal protection
The dust extractor is equipped with a safety thermal protector to prevent motor
from overheating. Should thermal protector activate, turn off machine, unplug
power cord and check for full dust bag, vacuum hose clog or filter blockage. It
may take up to 45 minutes for the thermal protector to reset.
8 Grounding instructions
The dust extractor must be grounded. If a dust extractor malfunctions or
breakdowns, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current
to reduce the risk of electric shock. The dust extractor is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must
be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
9 Service
 When cleaning and servicing the machine, you must switch off the machine
and remove the plug from the outlet.
 Don’t clean the machine with a high-pressure cleaner. If necessary, do not
direct at the openings on the machine, especially the opening for cooling
air.
 Before moving the machine from the work area, the machine must be
cleaned.
 Proper personnel protective equipment must be used while replacing the
main filter or the HEPA filter. If possible, use a special suitable room.
 All parts which are contaminated after service must be properly disposed of
in plastic bags according to all regulations.
 If the machine must be used for other purposes, it is extremely important that
the machine is cleaned, to avoid the spread of hazardous dust.
 Do not puncture the HEPA filter. Risk of dust dispersion.

10 Operating Instructions
1) Vacuuming process
Before starting a vacuuming process,
 make sure the machine is properly connected to a grinder or a floor
tool via the provided hose and fittings.
 check the power cable and the plugs are in a good condition.
 make sure the power voltage corresponds to that on the rating plate
and correctly connect the power plug to a power socket
Turn on the power switch to start a vacuuming process.
During the vacuuming process, dust-laden air is sucked through the flexible
hose and inlet at a high speed. The air is then slowed down by the cyclone,
and coarse dust particles are separated out partly by centrifugal force and
partly by gravity. Air and finer particles pass through the main filter at the first
and the HEPA filter at the final stage where separation is made.
2) Filter cleaning process
The machine is designed for filter cleaning by reverse air “jet-pulse”.
The filter must be cleaned from time to time. This must be done before
changing the bag collection system and should also be done when work is
completed or whenever there is a poor suction.
Filter cleaning procedure:
 Cover the inlet by lifting the inlet open/close plate and let the machine
build up vacuum for 4 to 5 seconds,
 Quickly push down the filter cleaning handle and release it. Repeat the
procedure five times. It is important to let the machine rebuild the
vacuum in between every repetition,
 Open the inlet again by pushing down the inlet open/close plate.
If suction remains poor, the conical main filter needs to be replaced. If

page- 9
Operating Manual
PD1/PD2/PD3
2022 rev. 6.0
suction remains poor afterwards, the HEPA filters needs to be replaced. See
instructions in chapter 13 Filter change.
3) Dust storage and release
The separated dust accumulates in the conic bottom during the vacuuming
process, and it drops through the bottom flap into the plastic bag when the
machine is switched off. In some extreme cases the adhesive ability of the
dust must be broken manually. This can be done by hitting the dust through
the bag or tapping the tank using i.e. a rubber hammer.
4) Dust collecting and bagging
The machine is equipped with a continuous fold bag system for an effective
dust collecting and bagging. The supplied fold bag is a 22 m long plastic
tube that will be divided into individual bags using the zip ties attached with
the machine.
To assemble a new fold bag:
 Release the belt holding the last bag and take off the bag holder.
 Put in a new fold bag & pull out the inner end upwards.
 Assemble the holder onto the machine and strap the opening facing
upwards with the belt.
 Pull down the outside end and close it by using a zip tie.
Before changing a fold bag or a regular bag, make sure the filter cleaning
cycle has been completed.

11 Filter change
Unhealthy dust can be spread during filter change. Accordingly, the user should
wear protective glasses, protective gloves, and a breathing mask conforming
to protection class FFP3.
WARNING! Remember to switch off the machine and pull the plug out of the
outlet before servicing.
1) Change of main filter
 Loosen the 3 hooks and remove the top cover. Take out a new filter
from its bag. Lift out the used filter from its chamber and place it gently
into the filter bag. This bag must be closed and disposed properly.
 Insert a new filter.
 Put back the top head and close the 3 hooks properly.
IMPORTANT! If you are removing the main filter to clean it. Hitting the filter
with force or use of compressed air will destroy the filter. It can handle
water, but high-pressure water cleaning will destroy it.
2) Change of HEPA filter
 Loosen the 2 nuts on each filter cover. Take out a new filter from its bag.
Lift out the used HEPA filter from its chamber and place it gently into the
filter bag. This bag must be closed and disposed properly.
 Insert a new filter to the filter chamber.
 Put back the filter cover and close the 2 nuts properly.
IMPORTANT! HEPA filters can’t be cleaned, trying this might destroy it. When
installing the replacement filter, make sure not touch the inside of the filter.
Any kind of force/damage on the inside of filter media will destroy the new
filter.
