6. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Ensure you have read and understood and
adhere to Section 1 safety instructions.
Ensure you are
using the personal protection items appropriate to the task
before operating the unit and before opening the vacuum
system drum.
NOTE: The system is designed to run only one tool at a time.
6.1
Preparation for use.
6.1.1
Ensure that the vacuum system is unplugged from the mains
power supply and the air supply.
6.1.2
Check that dust bag will accommodate dust generated and
that the filter is in good condition (see 6.3. for bag and filter
removal).
6.1.3
Check the vacuum system and attached tools are in good
working order and condition and all air and electrical
connections are sound.
6.1.4
Check that the operating switch is moved to the automatic
mode (II) when using as a dust free system.
6.1.5
Turn the electrical mains power on and the external air
supply if required.
6.2
Operating the system.
6.2.1
Make the tool ready for use and operate the tool which in
turn will automatically activate the dust vacuum system.
When the tool is activated the red standby light will go out.
Whilst performing the task the vacuum system will draw the
dust up into the unit.
6.2.2
When you turn off the tool, the vacuum system will continue
to operate for approximately a further 10 seconds drawing up
any remaining dust.
6.2.3
Any dust that still remains thereafter may be collected by
using the system as an ordinary vacuum cleaner. To do so
switch the Operating button (fig.5) to “Stop” “0” mode, turn off
the air supply system (if connected) and remove all air hoses.
6.2.4
Disconnect the mains power lead and transport the vacuum
system to appropriate area for use. Set up as a vacuum
cleaner as described in section 4.3.
6.2.5
Plug into the mains power supply. Move the operating
switch (fig.5) to the manual mode (I). The unit will continue to
operate until you switch it off by moving the power switch
back to the central “0” position.
6.3
Cleaning the vacuum system.
The dust bag may be emptied at any time as required (follow
steps below). It is important to ensure however that the dust
bag is not filled to more than 2/3rd capacity.
6.3.1
Undo the clips on the side of the vacuum system drum and
remove the motor head. Gently place the motor unit in a safe
clean location. Remove the filter from the top of the drum and
keep safe and dry.
6.3.2
Check that the dust collection bag has enough free space to
collect the dust that will be generated by the next task (the
bag is designed to accommodate dust up to a maximum of
2/3rd of total capacity and this must not be exceeded). To
remove the bag, hold the cardboard and rubber retainer that
fits around the inlet socket and gently pull the bag away from
it. Dispose of the bag and contents according to local
regulations. If the vacuum system is in constant use, we
recommend that the paper bag is checked everyday and
automatically replaced at the end of each operating week. To
refit the dust bag ensure the inlet collar is pushed fully onto
the inlet socket.
6.3.3
Take the drum filter and shake it in an appropriate safe area
to expel any dust particles thus prolonging the life of your
equipment. We recommend that the filter is cleaned after
every 10 hours operation. Check filter is in good condition
and replace it into the drum. Replace the motor head with
power switch (fig.5) aligned with the suction inlet socket and
secure it with the side clips.
NOTE: Blocked filters and/or over filled bags may damage the
motor and will invalidate your warranty.
WARNING! DO NOT operate the system without a filter or
dust bag. Always ensure you use authorised spares,
filters and bag. Contact your Sealey dealer for details.
