General

WARNING! The user must only carry out the
!
maintenance and service work described in
this Operator's Manual. More extensive work
must be carried out by an authorized service
workshop.
The machine should be switched off with the
power cable disconnected from the outlet.
Wear personal protective equipment. See
instructions under the heading "Personal
protective equipment". It is strongly
advisable that all operators use a dust mask/
respirator when changing dust bags or
performing maintenance on the machine.
The life span of the machine can be reduced and the risk of
accidents can increase if machine maintenance is not carried
out correctly and if service and/or repairs are not carried out
professionally. If you need further information please contact
your nearest service workshop.

Daily maintenance

• Check that the machine's safety equipment is
undamaged. See instructions in the section "Machine's
safety equipment".
• Check that the cord and extension cord are intact and in
good condition.
• Clean the outside of the machine.
• It is highly recommended that operators check dust levels
inside secondary filter housing on a daily basis. If when
inspected, it is found that there is dust building up inside
the secondary filter housing, it is recommended to remove
the primary filters and check for small holes or
perforations. Usually, small holes will begin to develop
around the stitching of the filter media. If small holes are
located, clean area around hole with either compressed
air or vacuum. Once area is clean, the hole can be
repaired with silicone sealant. If no small holes or
perforations are found, check rubber seals in the primary
filter housing assembly and make sure they are all intact.
Cleaning the primary filters
After every 10-20 minutes of operation, the primary filters will
need cleaning as dust will buildup on the inside of the filter
socks. An increase in residual dust on the ground behind the
grinder will be noticed.

MAINTENANCE

• Switch the machine to the off position.
• Once the machine is completely without suction lightly
rock the machine from front to back by placing your foot
on the front plate (1) and holding the handle (2). While this
is happening you will notice all the dust from inside the
unit drop into the plastic bag attached to the collection
cone.

Changing the dust bags

Once the dust bag has collected around 20 kg of dust, to
avoid lifting hazards caused by overfilling of dust bags, the
dust bag should be changed.
• Clear the primary filters. See instructions under the
heading "Cleaning the primary filters".
• Switch the machine back into ON position holding the dust
flap closed. (You will notice the air is sucked from the
plastic bag.)
• Tie bag off below the collection cone using a cable tie or
other bag tie.
• Release elastic strap and remove sealed bag.
!
• Using elastic strap, attach new empty plastic bag (you will
notice the air is sucked from the plastic bag).
• Machine is now ready to be used for dust collection again.
!
Replacing primary filters
With consistent use, the primary filters should be replaced
approximately every 6 months. This will maintain good suction
levels and reduce incidence of holes developing in the filters.

IMPORTANT! Use extreme caution when
releasing and reattaching elastic strap.
IMPORTANT! It is important to keep vacuum
running during the bag changing process.
This will keep the valve in the collection
cone closed ensuring no dust will drop out
from within the collection cone when bag
changing is being performed.
