IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
WHEN USING AN ELECTRICAL DUST EXTRACTOR, BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE
FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING DUST
EXTRACTOR. BEFORE USING THE DUST EXTRACTOR, READ THIS OPERATOR’S MANUAL, YOUR
TOOL, BATTERY PACK AND CHARGER OPERATOR’S MANUALS, AND ALL LABELS ON THE DUST
EXTRACTOR, BATTERY PACK, CHARGER AND TOOL. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE WARNINGS AND
INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE AND/OR SERIOUS INJURY.
WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Dust extractors have motors and other parts that can produce sparks during
normal use. Do not use within 9 metres of areas where explosive materials may
be present (such as petrol pumps and places where liquids like paint thinners,
cleaners, solvents, etc. are stored).
- Do not use in the presence of explosive dust, liquids or vapours.
- Do not use where oxygen or anesthetics are used.
- Do not allow to be used as a toy.
- Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.
- Use extra care when using on stairs.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
- Do not pick up wet material. Do not use water to settle dust.
- Do not handle battery pack or dust extractor with wet hands.
- Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
-
STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do not use dust extractor when you are tired, distracted or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication causing diminished control.
-
The operation of a dust extractor can result in foreign objects being blown into eyes, which can result in eye damage. Always wear safety goggles or glasses with side shield marked to comply with AS/NZS 1337.1 when operating dust extractor.
-
Wear a dust mask or use a suitable dust
extraction solution when working in dusty
situations. Dust particles can harm your lungs. -
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
-
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
-
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
-
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
-

Removal and Cleaning of Dust Box and Filter
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, when working in dusty situations, wear
appropriate respiratory protection or use a suitable dust extraction solution.
Keep filter clean. Efficiency of the HAMMERVAC™ is largely dependent on the
filter. A dirty filter will reduce the air flow and overall efficiency of the
system. Do not clean with water or compressed air.
Disposal of Dust
Regular filter cleaning and dust box emptying are an essential part of regular
maintenance on the
HAMMERVAC™, as a full dust box or filter will reduce the effectiveness of the
unit. Carefully transfer the filter or collected dust to a suitable container
with a tight-fitting lid to minimise the amount of dust that re-enters the
air. Ensure minimal dust is allowed to escape when emptying dust boxes or
cleaning filters. Disposal of dust needs to be done in accordance with local
regulations.
Cleaning Dust Box
Wear suitable personal protective equipment and remove any remaining dust in
the dust box port thoroughly after the dust box has been removed and
appropriately handled, e.g., by using a
compliant dust extraction system (Class M recommended as a minimum) in
accordance with local regulations.
Disposal of HEPA Filter
After about 1,500 holes or loss of suction, discard the HEPA filter by cleaning the dust box (refer to the “Cleaning Dust Box” section) and carefully transferring the HEPA filter to a container with a tight-fitting lid. Disposal of HEPA filter needs to be done in accordance with local regulations. Replace HEPA filter with a correct replacement HEPA filter (Cat. No. 49902306).
Installing/Removing Nozzle
Replace the nozzle:
- After drilling about 1,500 holes,
- When the nozzle bit brush shows signs of wear
- When suction is reduced,
- When dust escapes through the nozzle bit brush during use
To replace the Small and Large dust nozzles, pull the nozzle adjustment lever up to the open position and pull out nozzle from the lower nozzle assembly. Slide the new nozzle into the lower nozzle assembly and push the nozzle.
Attaching the HAMMERVAC™ to the Rotary Hammer
These HAMMERVAC™ Dust Extractors are for use with dedicated rotary hammers. Refer to the Specifications chart for compatible tools.
- Remove the battery pack from the rotary hammer.
- Slide the body of the rotary hammer onto the dust extractor rails.
- Push the contacts through the protective cover on the rotary hammer. The hammer release will snap into place.
Installing/Removing the Bit
Slide the bit through the nozzle and then install into the tool according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions. For best results, use a bit 254 mm (10″) in length or shorter.
Fitting the HAMMERVAC™ to the Tool and Bit
For proper suction and depth control, position the nozzle assembly so the bit is flush with the forward face of the nozzle:
- Press and hold the tool and bit depth gauge button.
- Push in the nozzle assembly until the bit is flush with the front face of the nozzle.
- Release the tool and bit depth gauge button.
NOTE: Fully extend the HAMMERVAC™ before storing to preserve spring life.
OPERATION
WARNING To reduce the risk of fire and injury, do not use to pick up
flammable or combustible materials. Empty dust box completely before use.
To reduce the risk of injury, always use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection marked to comply with AS/NZS 1337.1.
When working in dusty situations, wear appropriate respiratory protection or
use a suitable dust extraction solution.
Always remove battery pack before changing or removing accessories. Only use
accessories specifically recommended for this tool. Others may be hazardous.
Proper Operation

- When dust covers the filter in the visible dust box.
NOTE: When the HAMMERVAC™ has come to a stop, the AUTOPULSE™ Filter Cleaning Mechanism will click three times to clear the filter of debris that could become lodged. For best performance, position the HAMMERVAC™ either horizontally or vertically downward (pointed at the ground) during this cycle. Empty the dust box often (see Removal and Cleaning of Dust Box and Filter section).
MAINTENANCE
