Restarting of All Machines
In the Event of a Blockage
If a blockage in the collection hose of the machine occurs, switch it off
immediately by pressing the power switch to the off position and wait for the
machine to come to a complete stop before proceeding further.
Unplug the machine from the power source and remove the blockage from the
collection hose. To re-start the machine press the power switch to the
on position.
In the Event of a Power Failure
In the event of a power failure, first turn the power switch to the off position
and then locate and rectify the source of the failure. If the fault is within the
power circuit of the workshop, there may be an underlying cause (circuit
overload etc.) that should be investigated by a qualified electrician, before
attempting to restore the power source.
Once the power is restored, the machine can be re-started by pressing the
switch to the on position.
7. Assembly & Operation of DX5000
• Determine the position of the extractor on a wall
close to a power socket.
• This needs to be at a convenient height,
allowing sufficient room under the bottom of
the bag retention bar (when the extractor is fully
assembled) to remove the polythene sack for
emptying.
• For ease of installation, it is advisable to remove
the wall bracket from the body before fixing the
bracket to the wall.
PLEASE NOTE:
The clamp which fixes the hood
assembly to the drum body of your machine is fitted
to protect the unit during transit and
should not
be used once the extractor is installed.
1. First remove the hood unit, and unscrew the
bracket from the body.
2. Mark out the position of the holes through the
bracket onto the wall.
3. Drill and plug the wall to accept suitable screws,
(the holes in the bracket are designed to take No.
10 gauge wood screws) and screw the bracket to
the wall.
4. Refit the body to the bracket.
5. Attach the hose cuff supplied to one end of the
flexible hose and fit to the machine inlet.
6. Place one of the cartridge filters inside a paper
filter bag and fold the top edges of the paper bag
down inside the cartridge. Push this onto one of
the motor bodies, making sure that it is securely
positioned.
7. Repeat this procedure to fit the other cartridge
and paper filter to the other motor.
8. Open out the large cloth filter bag, position this
inside the extractor body and place the elasticated
waistband of the bag over the neck of the body.
9. Replace the hood unit.
10. Open a polythene bag and position it up around
the cage part of the body and under the collection
bag clamp. Ensure the seam of the polythene bag is
in line with the crossbar at the bottom of the cage.
11. At this point the polythene bag may be held
in place by switching on the extractor so that the
suction of the machine will hold the sack in place
whilst the retaining strap is fastened.
12. Fasten the strap clamp.
Please Note: When the unit is first switched on,
the empty polythene sack will be drawn up towards
the machine, however, when dust starts to collect in
the bag it will lower into its normal position.
Important
• Always ensure that the end of the 102 mm
diameter flexible hose is not completely covered or
blocked or the machine may be ‘pulled’ suddenly
towards the end of the hose (see Fig 5.1).
• The 102mm diameter flexible hose is intended
mainly for connection to woodworking machinery
to collect sawdust and shavings.
• For cleaning purposes we recommend the use of
the 32mm diameter flexible hose
(optional extra - part no. DX1500B)
• If the 102mm diameter hose is used for cleaning
always ensure that the hose is angled as
shown in Fig. 7.1.
Fig. 7.1
The RSDE2/A is fitted with an automatic switching function which allows the extractor to be started
automatically when a power tool is connected via the 3 pin socket in the head of the extractor.
To use the extractor in manual mode, the selector switch ‘A’ should be in the position marked ‘MANUAL’. The
extractor is then operated as normal by using the ON/OFF switch ‘B’ (Fig. 6.1).
To use automatic switching function, first ensure that the ON/OFF switch ‘B’ is in the OFF position. Insert
the 3 pin plug from the power tool in to the socket ‘C’ in the head of the extractor, and change the selector
switch ‘A’ to the ‘AUTOMATIC’ position (Fig. 6.1).
Ensure that the hose from the extractor is connected to the dust outlet on the power tool being used and
then change the ON/OFF switch ‘B’ to the ON position. The dust extractor will not start until the power tool
is switched on and will continue to run until the power tool is switched off.
PLEASE NOTE: It is normal for the extractor to continue to run for up to 20 seconds after the power tool is
switched off in order to clear any remaining waste from the hose. Do not change the position of either of the
switches on the extractor until the automatic switching process has completed its cycle.
PLEASE NOTE: It is important that the auto switching function is not overload by running power tools that
exceed the maximum power capacity of the unit. The maximum input rating of any power tool used with this
equipment should not exceed 1900 Watts. The total loading for the extractor and the power tools combined
must not exceed 13 amps.
