Installation of machine
Place the machine on a stable and level surface. Verify that it is possible to connect the metal
suction cleaner pliers to the grounding system of the working area.
Connect the suction cleaner to the pneumatic sleeve supplied (see figure 1) with the machine and
connect:
-
The quick coupling to the pneumatic sleeve on the front right side of the suction cleaner
-
The suction head to the pipe union of the suction cleaner
Disconnect the supply pipe from the vacuum head using the quick fitting, then remove the vacuum
head using the two metal hooks (see figure 2).
Place the dust bag inside the drum and firmly fix it to the sleeve (see figure 3).
Place the vacuum head in the correct position above the drum and fix it using the metal hooks
supplied.
Connect the supply pipe to the vacuum head (see figure 4).
Connection to the pneumatic supply
Please note: use filtered and dry air only.
Verify that the supply faucet of the suction cleaner is closed.
Connect the supply faucet to a pipe with an internal diameter of 10 mm (see figure 5).
Adjust the supply pressure at 7 bar.
Connect the pneumatic tool to the fitting on the sleeve and the suction pipe to the socket on the
pneumatic tool.
WARNING: for a correct operation, the suction cleaner requires an amount of air equivalent to
1000l/min, added to the amount of air required by the connected pneumatic tool. Verify that the
compressed air plant is able to supply the required amount to the machine.
Connection to the grounding system
CAUTION: ALWAYS connect the machine to the grounding system of the plant using the
metal pliers, specifically during the use of the suction cleaner, the emptying of the dust bag
and its replacement.
Connect the metal pliers to a part of the area that is connected to the grounding system of the plant.
(see figure 6)
User manual
Operation
The supply of the pneumatic tool and suction cleaner can be controlled by means of the faucet
situated on the rear of the suction cleaner.
To protect operators, the pneumatic tool should always be started together with the suction cleaner
to avoid the dust produced from forming potentially explosive atmospheres.
Verify that the suction sleeve is correctly connected to the pneumatic tool and suction pipe union.
Always check the conditions of the dust suction sleeve before using the machine.
Turn the faucet to start the vacuum cleaner.
Switch the pneumatic tool on to start working.
At the end of the work, stop the tool, close the faucet to stop the vacuum cleaner and place the tool
on the support provided.
Use the side supports to wind the supply pipe and the suction sleeve at the end of the work.
Place the abrasives, work tools, etc. on the rear shelf.
