Machine Danger! Disregard of the fol- lowing warnings can lead to severe per- sonal injury or mate- rial damage. Read instructions. Wear safety glass- es and hearing pro- tection. Wear dust mask. Do not operate tool in damp or wet envi- ronment. 1. Place fan housing (7), with the mo-tor facing down, on a workbench or similar stable support and set it lev-el with a block of wood or similar.2. Loosen the 3 hexagon nuts and washers (9) shown on both sides of the ventilator housing. Mount the 2 plates as shown on the bolts. Guide the two side panels (8) over the bolts with the adhesive label poin-ting outwards. Fit all washers and re-tighten all nuts on the ventilator housing. 3. Install the cross plate (10) between the side panels using carriage bolts and hex flange nuts. 4. Screw one castor (11) to each cor-ner of the bottom panel. Secure each castor with a hex nut (12). 5. Screw the earthing chain (13) into the bottom panel. Secure the earth-ing chain with a hex flange nut.6. Place the thus prepared bottom panel on the side panels and secure

with carriage bolts and hex flange nuts. Then check all screws and nuts for tightness and place ma- chine with the castors on the floor.

7. Put the hose clamp (14) on one end

of the suction hose (15), then push the hose on the suction port below the motor. Tighten the hose clamp.

8. Clamp dust collection bag under the

fan opening. Fit a sufficiently long and wide dust collection bag (16) (eg 600 × 900 mm) and tighten it with the tightening strap (17).

4.1 Mains Connection

BDanger! High voltage Operate this machine in dry sur- roundings only. Operate machine only on a power source meeting the following re- quirements (see also “Technical Specifications”): – outlets properly installed, earthed and tested. – outlet protected by a 10A fuse (time-lag); – mains voltage and system fre- quency conform to the voltage and frequency shown on the ma- chine´s name plate; – fuse protection by a residual cur- rent device (RCD) of 30 mA sen- sitivity. Use only oil-resistant extensions cords class H07 RN-F. Lead cross- section should be at least 1.0 mm

Protect the power supply cable from heat, aggressive liquids and sharp edges. Run the power supply cables in a way that they do not interfere with your work and will not get damaged. Do not pull on power supply cable to unplug.

4.2 Electrostatic Charging

The entire extraction system of the ma- chine is constructed of electrically non- conductive components. If the suction hose is connected to electrically con- ductive parts (eg metal dust chutes or suctions pipes), they need to be earthed to dissipate possible electro- static energy. On the machine no plastic parts may be replaced by metal parts. The suction hose in particular must not be retrofitted with a metal spiral. In this context small metal parts like screws and hose clamps are harmless. Use only genuine spare parts. These spare parts are designed for the ma- chine.

4.3 Overload Protection

To protect the electric motor against overloads it has a motor protection built in. If the motor is overheated or over- loaded the machine will shut off. In this case the motor can be restarted after a few minutes of cooling down. 3 Note: If the machine is shut OFF repeatedly by a tripped motor protection (2–3 times) within a short time, the ma- chine needs to be checked by a quali- fied electrician, before attempting to turn it ON again.

1. Place the dust extractor next to the

woodworking machine in a way that it will not interfere with your work.

2. Connect the suction hose to the

dust extraction port of the wood- working machine.

3. Place the power supply cable on the

floor and plug it into an outlet.

4. Turn the motor ON and wait a few

seconds, until the fan has reached fuill speed. – If the upper dust bag does not fill with air after a few seconds, pull it up.

5. Only now start the woodworking

machine and commence with your work.

6. Let the dust extractor postrun for at

least 10 seconds after the wood- working machine has been turned OFF. 3 Note: For extended daily use of your wood- working machine an automatic power relay for the dust extractor would be of advantage This relay turns the dust ex- tractor time-delayed ON and OFF once the woodworking machine is turned ON or OFF respectively. This automatic power relay is available from the manufacturer in two versions (see chapter "Available Accessories"). ADanger! Prior to all servicing:

1. turn the machine OFF,

6. Care and MaintenanceENGLISH

2. Pull out the mains plug and store it in

such a way that the person using the device can see that the plug is re- moved.

3. wait until the machine has come to

a complete stop. – Repair and maintenance work oth- er than described in this section should only be carried out by quali- fied specialists. – Replace defective parts, especially of safety devices, with genuine re- placement parts only. Parts not test- ed and approved by the manufac- turer can cause unforeseen damage. – Check to see that all safety devices are operational again after each service.

Before switching ON Visual check to see if power supply ca- ble and power cable plug are damaged; have faulty parts replaced by a qualified electrician. The machine requires no maintenance. However, before switching ON perform the following checks. Check all screw connections! Retighten loose connections. Is the switch housing, motor or fan housing damaged? Have these parts immediately replaced by a qualified electrician. Is the upper dust bag or suction hose damaged? Replace the dam- aged part(s).

In event of reduced suction pow- er: – Loosen the suction clamp and pull off the suction hose from the union beneath the electric motor. – Clean the grille. – Reattach the suction hose and hose clamp and tighten the hose clamp. Wipe work stand and fan housing with a moist cloth. Motor and ON/OFF switch may only be cleaned with a dry cloth. The upper dust bag should only be beaten (make sure dust collection bag is installed on the underside of the machine). Change the chip collection bag when it is about 4/5 full.

For storing the dust extractor, place the suction hose over the motor and insert the end in the opening in the base plate. ADanger! Store the machine in such way that it can not be started by unauthor- ised persons. Make sure that nobody can get hurt by the stored machine. A Caution! Do not store machine unprotected outdoors or in damp environment.
