Specific Safety for Dust Extractors

7

DO NOT

 use this machine as a vacuum cleaner, try to keep the 

waste medium to wood by-products.  
 

DO NOT 

uplift workshop floor debris (stones, nails, screws, paper 

etc., etc). Be aware that wood dust is an explosive medium. 

DO NOT

 allow any ‘naked light’ source to occur anywhere near 

the machine. This includes cigarettes, matches, etc, and do not 
place the machine near any unprotected light bulbs, that could 
possibly get broken.

The suction force is generated by a high speed fan unit. This 
has the potential to amputate fingers, grab loose clothing (ties 
etc.,) and ‘bat’ large chips etc, at high speeds. Keep all guarding 
in place, and if access to the fan becomes necessary (due to 
blockage etc.,) Disconnect the machine from the mains supply 
and ensure the fan has come to a complete stop before putting 
your hands anywhere near to it.

If you are not using ‘clear’ extraction hose, periodically
remove the hose to check that the inlet to the machine is not
getting restricted. (The safety guard grill of the inlet duct can be 
particularly irksome in this way, as long strand shavings etc., can 
wrap around the grill fret.) 

KEEP the particle filter clean. The machine relies on its ability 
to ‘blow’ air through the filter, to generate good suction. If the 
particle filter starts to clog, this reduces the air flow and hence 
the machine becomes less efficient. 

The particle filter can be cleaned, by using an ‘M’ class vacuum 
cleaner, clean the inside of the filter. 

BE AWARE that in dry air periods or areas, the movement of 
the air through the machine can generate static electric fields. 
These are not normally a problem as the machine is bonded 
together via its construction and the whole is earthed back 
through the electrical supply; problems can occur with isolated 
items, such as stands or hosing that are insulated from the 
ground (standing on rubber feet?, suspended in the air etc).
If possible, try to connect everything together electrically, to 
eliminate static shocks.

(Use the integral metal coil in flexible hosing to connect the 
units together).

Try to route the power cable and the hosing away from busy 
walkways.
 

ONLY USE DUST EXTRACTION BAGS 
WITH THIS MACHINE NOT DOMESTIC 
WASTE BAGS!

DO NOT PLACE DUST EXTRACTION 
BAGS OVER THE FILTER ASSEMBLY!
