Introduction
5
The AW153E is the largest extractor in our Craft range,
which with its 1.5kW motor, large capacity collection bag
and twin 100mm hose inlets, will handle most single work-
shop machines. Use the single 125mm inlet or the twin
100mm adaptor for two smaller machines.
The top cloth bag acts as the filter whilst the lower plastic
bag collects the coarse dust and chippings. Plastic bags
allow a number of bags to be filled and stored ready for
bulk disposal. There are bag hooks to make changing a
full bag easy. The extractor’s filtration performance can be
upgraded with the addition of the cartridge filter (700345).
This has a large surface area of filter material, so does not
reduce the airflow. A simple rotating handle is used to clean
the filter.
For best results, keep the hose size to a minimum of
100mm; using a smaller diameter hose will cause the air
flow to drop markedly. Castors on the base allow for easy
mobility around the workshop.
HAVING UNPACKED YOUR MACHINE, PLEASE DISPOSE OF THE PACKAGING PROPERLY.
General Instructions for 230V Machines
The following will enable you to observe good working
practices, keep yourself and fellow workers safe and
maintain your tools and equipment in good working order.
Mains Powered Tools
• Tools are supplied with an attached 13 Amp plug.
• Inspect the cable and plug to ensure that neither are
damaged. Repair if necessary by a suitably qualified
person.
• Do not use when or where it is liable to get wet.
Workplace
• Do not use 230V a.c. powered tools anywhere
within a site area that is flooded.
• Keep machine clean.
• Leave machine unplugged until work is about to
commence.
• Always disconnect by pulling on the plug body
and not the cable.
•
Carry out a final check e.g. check the cutting tool
is securely tightened in the machine and
the
correct speed and function set.
•
Ensure you are comfortable before you start work,
balanced, not reaching etc.
• Wear appropriate safety clothing, goggles, gloves,
masks etc. Wear ear defenders at all times.
• If you have long hair wear a hair net or helmet to prevent
it being caught up in the rotating parts of the machine.
• Consideration should be given to the removal of rings
and wristwatches.
• Consideration should also be given to non-slip
footwear etc.
• If another person is to use the machine, ensure they are
suitably qualified to use it.
• Do not use the machine if you are tired or distracted.
• Do not use this machine within the designated safety
areas of flammable liquid stores or in areas where there
may be volatile gases.
• Check cutters are correct type and size, are
undamaged and are kept clean and sharp, this will
maintain their operating performance and lessen the
loading on the machine.

happening around you and USE YOUR COMMON SENSE.
