F.A.Q.
Can I use 3rd party replacement filters?
Yes, the BenchTop DC uses a standard 16 x 25 x 3" MERV-15 filter that can be sourced from most hardware
stores. Double check the new filter's size before purchasing or installing. Please see the Recommended
Accessories section on page 14. Have spare filters on hand to not skip a beat.
Is this item suitable for fume evacuation?
No, the BenchTop DC is designed for airborne dust and particulate filtration. The Main Filter is not suitable for
VOCs, acids, corrosives, or flammable fumes.
What particle size does it filter out?
The BenchTop DC's dual filtration system captures up to 95% of particles as small as 0.3 microns in diameter.
Does it come with a remote?
No, it doesn't come with a remote. Please see the Recommended Accessories section on page 14 for options.
Can I use it with an extension cord? Is there a maximum length?
Yes, check the amperage rating on your cord to determine the maximum length.
Will heat effect how the unit operates?
The BenchTop DC can operate in most common shop temperatures, however it should not be used in
environments exceeding 104°F (40°C).
I want it to run continuously. Is there a recommended length of time to run it for?
The system can be run continuously as long as the environment's temperature does not exceed 104°F (40°C).
Can I use this system as an ambient air cleaner?
We do not recommend ambient cleaners because on their own they are not effective at reducing airborne
particulate to acceptable levels; Dust collectors need to be very close to the source of the dust emission to be
effective.
However, if you desire to hang the BenchTop DC from the ceiling, the unit includes two integrated threaded
inserts. Your ceiling joist or similarly strong mounting surface must be capable of supporting 20 lbs of weight
and you will also need to supply your own fasteners and hangers; we recommend 1/4"-20 eye-bolts with
shoulder.
