SYMBOL MEANING

GENERAL SAFETY

Operating a power tool can be dangerous if safety and common sense are ignored. The operator must be familiar with the operation of this machine. Read this manual to understand this machine. DO NOT OPERATE this machine IF YOU DO NOT FULLY UNDERSTAND the limitations of this tool. DO NOT MODIFY this machine in any way.

BEFORE USING THIS MACHINE

• WARNING
  To avoid serious injury and damage to the tool, read and follow all of the Safety and Operating Instructions before operating the machine.

• WARNING

1. SOME DUST CREATED BY USING POWER TOOLS CONTAINS CHEMICALS known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Some examples ofthese chemicals are:
  * Lead from lead-based paints.
  * Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products.
  * Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber  

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

2. READ this entire manual. LEARN how to use the tool for its intended applications.
3. GROUND ALL TOOLS. If the tool is supplied with a 3-prong plug, it must be plugged into a 3-contact electrical receptacle. The third prong is used to ground the tool and provide protection against accidental electric shock.
4. AVOID A DANGEROUS WORKING ENVIRONMENT. Do not use electrical tools in a damp environment or expose them to rain.
5. DO NOT USE electrical tools in the presence of FLAMMABLE liquids or gases.
6. ALWAYS KEEP THE AREA CLEAN, well lit, and organized. Do not work in an environment with floor surfaces that are slippery from debris, grease, and wax.
7. KEEP VISITORS AND CHILDREN AWAY. Do not permit people to be in the immediate work area, especially when the electrical tool is operating.
8. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL to perform an operation for which it was not designed. It will do a safer and higher quality job by only performing operations for which the tool was intended.
9. WEAR PROPER CLOTHING. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewellery. These items can get caught in the machine during operations and pull the operator into the moving parts. The user must wear a protective cover on their hair, if hair is long, to prevent it from contacting any moving parts.
10. CHILDPROOF THE WORKSHOP AREA by removing switch keys, unplugging tools from the electrical receptacles, and using padlocks.
11. ALWAYS UNPLUG THE TOOL FROM THE ELECTRICAL RECEPTACLE when making adjustments, changing parts or performing any maintenance.
12. KEEP PROTECTIVE GUARDS IN PLACE AND IN WORKING ORDER.
13. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make sure that the power switch is in the “OFF” position before plugging in the power cord to the electrical receptacle.
14. REMOVE ALL MAINTENANCE TOOLS from the immediate area prior to turning “ON” the machine.
15. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Use of incorrect or improper accessories could cause serious injury to the operator and cause damage to the tool. If in doubt, check the instruction manual that comes with that particular accessory.
16. NEVER LEAVE A RUNNING TOOL UNATTENDED. Turn the power switch to the “OFF” position. Do not leave the tool until it has come to a complete stop.
17. DO NOT STAND ON A TOOL. Serious injury could result if the tool tips over, or you accidentally contact the tool.
18. DO NOT STORE ANYTHING ABOVE OR NEAR the tool where anyone might try to stand on the tool to reach it.
19. MAINTAIN YOUR BALANCE. Do not extend yourself over the tool. Wear oil resistant rubber soled shoes. Keep floor clear of debris, grease, and wax.
20. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Always keep tools clean and in good working order. Keep all blades and tool bits sharp, dress grinding wheels and change other abrasive accessories when worn.
21. EACH AND EVERY TIME, CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS PRIOR TO USING THE TOOL. Carefully check all guards to see that they operate properly, are not damaged, and perform their intended functions. Check for alignment, binding or breaking of moving parts. A guard or other part that is damaged should be immediately repaired or replaced.
22. DO NOT OPERATE TOOL WHILE TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, MEDICATION OR ALCOHOL.
23. SECURE ALL WORK. Use clamps or jigs to secure the work piece. This is safer than attempting to hold the work piece with your hands.
24. STAY ALERT, WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING, AND USE COMMON SENSE WHEN OPERATING A POWER TOOL. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
25. ALWAYS WEAR A DUST MASK TO PREVENT INHALING DANGEROUS DUST OR AIRBORNE PARTICLES, including wood dust, crystalline silica dust and asbestos dust. Direct particles away from face and body. Always operate tool in well ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust extraction system wherever possible. Exposure to dust may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury, including silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid breathing dust, and avoid prolonged contact with dust. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes, or lay on your skin may promote absorption of harmful material. Always use properly fitting AS/NZS approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap and water. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
26. USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD IN GOOD CONDITION. Use of extension cords should be avoided where possible. When using an extension cord, be sure to have a cord heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw, and with compatible pin configuration and connections. NEVER use an extension cord rated at less than your machine. Longer run extensions will need heavier duty extension cords. Only connect your extension cord or machine to a receptacle that accepts your plug and never modify your plug to suit a receptacle.

AIR FILTER SAFETY

INTENDED USE
This air filter is designed to assist the removal of very fine dust particles from the air within an enclosed workshop. They are not designed as a primary dust collection device, (which is designed  to collect dust at the point it is created) and does not supersede the need for proper PPE (personal protective equipment) to prevent respiratory damage from hazardous dust.

HAZARDOUS DUST
Dust created while using machinery may cause cancer, birth defects, or long- term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards associated with each work piece material, and always wear a AS/NZS-approved respirator to reduce your risk.

DUST ALLERGIES
Dust from certain woods may cause an allergic reaction in people and animals. Make sure you know what type of wood dust you will be exposed to in case there is a possibility of an allergic reaction.

WEAR A RESPIRATOR
Fine dust that is too small to be caught in the filter will be blown into the ambient air during operation. Always wear a AS/NZS-approved respirator during operation and for a short time after to reduce your risk of permanent respiratory damage.

EMPTYING DUST
When emptying dust from the air filter, wear a respirator and safety glasses. Empty dust away from ignition sources and into an approved container.

DISCONNECT POWER SUPPLY
Turn the switch off, disconnect the dust collector from the power supply, and allow the impeller to come to a complete stop before leaving the machine unattended or doing any service, cleaning, maintenance, or adjustments.

SUSPENDED DUST PARTICLES AND IGNITION SOURCES
Do not operate the air filter in areas where explosion risks are high. Areas of high risk include, but are not limited to, areas near pilot lights, open flames, or other ignition sources.

FIRE SUPPRESSION
Only operate the air filter in locations that contain a fire suppression system or have a fire extinguisher nearby.

IMPELLER HAZARDS
Do not place your hands or tools into an open cabinet during operation for any reason. The suction could easily cause accidental contact with the impeller, which will cause serious personal injury or damage to the machine. Always keep small animals and children away from open dust collection inlets.

OPERATING LOCATION
To reduce respiratory exposure to fine dust, locate permanently installed air filters away from the working area. Do not operate the air filter in rainy or wet locations. Exposure to water may create a shock hazard or decrease the life of the machine.

REGULAR CLEANING
Regularly check/empty the collection filters to avoid the buildup of fine dust that can increase the risk of fire. Make sure to regularly clean the surrounding area where the machine is operated– excessive dust buildup on overhead lights, heaters, electrical panels, or other heat sources will increase the risk of fire.
WARNING
No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to lessen the possibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• WARNING
  • This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of least resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool may be equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST Be plugged into a matching electrical receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
  • DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the electrical receptacle, have the proper electrical receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
  • IMPROPER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. DO NOT connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal if repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary.
  • CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN or service personnel if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded.
  • Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-prong grounding plug and a 3-pole receptacle that accepts the tool’s plug. Replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.
  • Power tools and machinery are intended for use on a circuit that has an electrical receptacle as shown in FIGURE A that shows a 10 Amp 3-wire electrical plug and corresponding electrical receptacle that has a grounding conductor.
  • If this particular tool has been designed and fitted with a two prong electrical plug, ensure it displays the ‘Double Insulated’ logo shown in FIGURE B, before connecting to a 3- wire receptacle.

SPECIFICATIONS

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION
The machine is heavy. DO NOT over-exert yourself while mounting the machine. A minimum of two people is required to safely mount this machine.

• The Carbatec Room Air Filter comes pre-assembled, however before installing the machine or performing a test run, please remove the filters and check for any packing materials that may be inside the unit. After unpacking, the machine must be installed.
• Transport the room air filter in its packing to a place near its final installation site before unpacking it.
• If the packaging shows signs of possible transport damage, take the necessary precautions not to damage the machine when unpacking.
• If any damage is discovered, the carrier and/or shipper must be notified of this fact immediately to establish any claim which might arise.

PLACEMENT LOCATION
Consider anticipated workpiece sizes and additional space needed for auxiliary stands, storage, or other machinery when establishing a location for this machine in the shop. See dimensions on page 13, for reference.

GOOD AIR CIRCULATION

1. Place the air filter in a location that will promote circular air motion as shown. Fig. B
2. Try to mount the unit so that it will be running in line with the natural air currents within your workshop. The natural air currents can be seen on a bright sunny day, when there are a lot of fine dust particles in the air. Mounting the unit this way will increase efficiency.
3. When an air filter is placed too close to any obstructions, such as walls, much of the room will be unfiltered as circulation is diminished when the velocity of the air is lost. There must be a clearance of at least 1m from any obstructions in front or at the back of the unit.
4. Multiple units can be installed in various locations to improve this circulation.

MOUNTING TIPS

1. Mount the unit somewhere where it will be easy to access for any cleaning and maintenance
2. Place the air filter in an area where sanding will likely take place, or close to the source of fine dust.
3. Ensure that an appropriate powerpoint is available at the location you select for the air filter to plug into.
4. Ensure that the air filter can be installed high enough that there is enough clearance under it for people to walk and operate machinery and workpieces safely without bumping it.

MOUNTING THE AIR FILTER

1. The air filter can only be secured from the mounting hooks installed on the top of the unit.
2. The air filter can be placed horizontally or vertically on a secure, flat surface in lieu of hanging. Optimal height is 2.1m.
3. If placing on a flat surface, use the 4 supplied feet on the 4 corners on the underside. This will help with access to the side panel for filter removal.
   NOTE: When hanging, the air filter must be supported by hanging off joists which are capable of supporting the weight of the air filter. Refer to page 13 for the weight information.

HANGING THE ROOM AIR FILTER

1. If you are suspending the unit from a ceiling, remove four screws from the top of the cabinet.
2. Thread the four locking nuts onto the four eye bolts. Fig. E1
3. Screw the eye bolt into the hole and tighten lock nut against the cabinet top. Hold the eye bolt to prevent it spinning while tightening the nut.
4. Repeat steps for remaining three eye bolts.
5. Ensure that you use the appropriate fasteners for each unit and check mounting location.
6. Ensure unit is suspended with at least 2.1 m clearance underneath.
7. Remove all plastic packaging from the unit (including any that may be on the filter cartridges), before operating.

MACHINE TESTING
Once assembly is complete, test run the machine to ensure it is properly connected to power and safety components are functioning correctly. If you find an unusual problem during the test run, immediately stop the machine, disconnect it from power, and fix the problem BEFORE operating the machine again.

DANGER

DO NOT start machine until all preceding setup instructions have been performed. Operating an improperly set up machine may result in malfunction or unexpected results that can lead to serious injury, death, or machine/property damage.

6. Press TIMER button to verify auto-shutoff cycles through each option (1H, 2H, 4H).
7. Press OFF button to turn the air filter off.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

OPERATION

WHY A ROOM AIR FILTER?

• Your dust collector efficiently extracts dust and wood chips near your woodworking machines but, through a ray of sunlight, you may see remaining dust suspended in the air. This room air filter targets these fine particles and keeps the level of airborne dust to a minimum.

• This room air filter enhances the safety of your workshop by drawing air into the machine, filtering the dust then returning filtered air back into the workshop. It can be left running quietly in the background, filtering out even the finest dust particles.

• To maximise your filtration capability, you can use an optional charcoal odour filter (sold separately).
  Caution

  • If you are not experienced with this type of machine, we recommend that you seek additional training outside of this manual. Read books, magazines or get formal training before beginning any projects.
  • When you first tun on your room air filter, the fan motor starts on high speed before settling on your selected speed.
  • When used in conjunction with an effective dust collection system, this room air filter removes most fine wood particles down to 1 micron from the air.

REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION

• The timer function only works on remote.
• The timer button controls the three different timer settings. Fig. I1 & I2
• Indicator 1 lights up on the back of the unit by pressing the time button once. The air filtration system will operate for 1 hour then shut off.
• Press again to operate for 2 hours.
• Press again to operate for 4 hours.
• Press again to clear the timer for continuous operation.
• The speed button controls the three different speed settings:
  • 3: High
  • 2: Medium
  • 1: High
• Pressing consecutively will cycle through speeds.
• To replace the batteries in the remote, slide back cover on the rear of the remote, remove the old batteries and replace with 2x fresh AAA batteries. Close cover. Fig. I3

MANUAL OPERATION
There is also a manual operation panel on the rear of the unit. It has a manual On/Off power switch . Consecutive pressing of the ‘ON’ button will cycle through speeds.

MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

• For optimum performance from this machine, this maintenance schedule must be strictly followed ongoing.
• If you ever observe any of the below, shut down the machine immediately and fix the problem before continuing operations:
  • Loose mounting bolts
  • Clogged or dirty filters
  • Worn or damaged wires
