ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING! READ THESE ELECTRICAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE CONNECTING THE PRODUCT TO THE MAINS SUPPLY.

Before switching the product on, make sure that the voltage of your electricity supply is the same as that indicated on the rating plate. This product is designed to operate on 230VAC 50Hz. Connecting it to any other power source may cause damage.
This product may be fitted with a non-rewireable plug. If it is necessary to change the fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover becomes lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until a suitable replacement is obtained.
If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or due to damage, it should be cut off and a replacement fitted, following the wiring instructions shown below. The old plug must be disposed of safely, as insertion into the main socket could cause an electrical hazard.

WARNING! THE WIRES IN THE POWER CABLE OF THIS PRODUCT ARE COLOURED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE: BLUE = NEUTRAL BROWN = LIVE YELLOW AND GREEN = EARTH

If the colors of the wires in the power cable of this product do not correspond with the markings on the terminals of your plug, proceed as follows.

• The Blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked N or colored black.
• The Brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked L. or colored red
• The Yellow and Green wire must be connected to the terminal marked E or colored Green.

We strongly recommend that this machine is connected to the main supply via a Residual Current Device (RCD). If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt any repairs yourself.

ASSEMBLY

To assemble your Dust Collector proceed as follows:

1. Lay components out neatly.

2. Place the base plate (4), upside down and fit the four castors (1), using screws, washers, and nuts supplied. Fit all screws etc finger tight only at first. Once all screws are in place, proceed to tighten them using a screwdriver and spanner. (DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN).

3. Attach column and motor plate, (20) to the base plate using bolts and washers supplied, (DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN). When viewed from the back, ensure threaded holes in the side of the motor plate are on the right-hand side, (see Fig 1).
   NOTE:
   Before installing the motor and collector body, (11 & 18) ensure the two hex head screws and lock-nuts are fitted to the motor plate, (see Fig 2), It is important that the bolt heads do not protrude more than 20mm at this stage, leaving them loose for adjustment later.
   

4. Attach the motor and collector body, (11 & 18) to the motor plate (see Fig 3), using nuts, bolts and washers supplied, Centralise the motor in both directions before lightly tightening the nuts and bolts. Adjust the bolts, ref Fig. 2 so that the heads butt up to the collector body, tighten the locknuts.
   

5. Fit the hose adapter, (37) onto the inlet cover using the screws supplied, (see Fig 3a). This is a safety requirement and must be adhered to, as this part also prevents finger access into the impeller.
   

6. Attach the collector, (23) to the collector body as shown in Fig 4, using 6 hex head screws and washers, (supplied), (DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN). Ensure the gasket, (22) is fitted between the two units.
   

7. Attach the two bag support rods, (31) using screws, nuts and washers supplied, one on either side of the collector, (see Fig 5).

8. Attach the collector support, (35) using the screws and washers supplied, (see Fig 6).

9. Secure the other extractor must remain upright.

OPERATION

DO NOT OPERATE WITHOUT ALL PARTS IN PLACE
Do not attempt to clean, remove/attach dust bags or carry out any servicing to the unit whilst it is in operation. ALWAYS ensure it is switched off and isolated from the mains by removing the plug from the socket.
CAUTION : THE BLOWER HOUSING CONTAINS A HIGH-SPEED FAN BLADE THAT COULD AMPUTATE FINGERS, GRAB LOOSE CLOTHING AND NECKTIES ETC, AND PROPEL DUST AT VERY HIGH VELOCITIES

A suitable length of flexible hose can be fitted to the collector inlet using the adapter supplied, (item No 37 in the parts list on page 15). The collector can  also be connected directly to the woodworking machine being used, using the appropriate hose and adapters which can be purchased separately from your nearest Clarke dealer.
To switch ON, press the switch cover (see fig. 8) down and slide in direction of the arrow and lift up, this will expose the ON/OFF buttons, (see fig 9) Push the ON button, (green button ‘I’). DO NOT close the cover as this will switch the machine OFF again.
Take care never to suck in foreign objects such as screws, nails, large pieces of plastic, or wood.

NOTE: In case of emergency, close the switch cover quickly, the cover will latch down and the motor will be switched OFF. To switch OFF normally, press the OFF button, (red button ‘O’), always close the cover to prevent accidental starting.

MAINTENANCE

Always inspect the machine before use and ensure it is in top condition. Regularly inspect the filter for damage before use and replace if necessary.
Regularly check the tightness of the filter, filter bag, and locking ring.
Excessive dust in the motor can cause overheating. Ensure all air vents are clear. To avoid eye injury or adverse reaction to dust, clean the machine by cleaning out the air vents using a vacuum cleaner.
Check the power cable to ensure it is sound and free from cracks, bare wires, etc. avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents.
All bearings etc, in this machine, are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high-grade lubricant for the machine’s lifetime under normal operating conditions, therefore no further lubrication is required.
Occasionally it may be necessary to manually clean the impeller, to do this proceed as follows.

1. Switch OFF and unplug the machine from the electrical supply.
2. Remove 12 screws securing the inlet cover, (6), and remove the cover to expose the impeller.
3. Clean impeller using a brush, cleaning cloth, and vacuum cleaner

CAUTION: Beware of sharp edges.
If any repairs (other than the above cleaning) become necessary, they should be carried out by an authorized service center.
