OPERATION 

This page contains the same information as the Quick Start guide provided with your AirBench. 

Prior to use 

Check the system logbook to ensure no routine maintenance is required. 

General use 

To use AirBench, ensure it is plugged in to a mains socket and the socket is switched on. Turn on the switch on 
the front of the bench. 

If a speed controller is fitted, turn it to full power before switching on, then adjust it to an appropriate level. Our 
recommended settings are shown below: 

Fume: 50-75% 

Light dusts, 50-100% 

Heavy dusts, 75-100% 

 

During commissioning, an optimum setting may have been determined and this should be noted in the system 
logbook. 

Check the filter pressure gauge on the front of the bench. If the needle on the gauge is showing within the RED 
zone, check the filter condition 

 they may require cleaning or replacement. 

Your AirBench has a zone above the surface in which capture is most effective, extending between 50cm and 
1m in a straight line upwards from the ventilated area. This zone forms a box in which you should aim to do the 
majority of your work. Working outside this zone may reduce the effectiveness of the extraction. 

Work as normal, aiming to work within the extraction zone described above. On completion of work, switch the 
AirBench off using the switch on the front. Record any maintenance you have undertaken, or any that is 
required, in the logbook. 

 

To avoid fan overload, do not block more than 95% of the work surface or the air 
outlet.

 

 

Filter Cleaning 

The filters in this unit are cleaned using a pulse of compressed air directed into the filters from the clean side. 
This pulse will knock the dust from the filters into removable bins at the base of the unit.
