Operation
The GMC 8 litre vacuum/dust extraction system comes
assembled and ready for use.
The filter must always be in the correct position to reduce
the risk of leaks and possible damage to the vacuum.
Ensure that the filter is completely covering the filter cage
and that the filter bag clip (6b) is as close to the lid as
possible. Ensure there are no gaps between the filter and
the lid. It is very important to assemble the filter to the cage
without allowing any possible leaks or tears. Any leaks will
allow the picked up debris to be blown out of the blower port
and back into the surrounding environment.
When using your vacuum to pick up very fine dust, it will
be necessary for you to empty the dust drum and clean or
replace the filter at more frequent intervals to maintain peak
vacuum performance.
