Function The machine is intended for pre-separating dry, not combustible dust. The pre-separator must be attached to a vacuum cleaner with right capacity. When the vacuum cleaner is started, the dust-laden air is then sucked through the inlet valve at high speed via the suction hose. The air is slowed down by the cyclone and coarse dust particles are separated out, partly by centrifugal force and partly by gravity. Air and finer particles then lift through the tank and through the hoses attached to the vacuum cleaner. The separated dust accumulates in the cyclone until the vacuum cleaner is switched off, when it drops through the bottom flap into the plastic bag. Service When cleaning and servicing the machine, the machine must be disconnected from the vacuum cleaner. Avoid cleaning with high a pressure cleaner. If this is necessary, do not direct at the openings on the machine, especially the opening for the cooling air. Before moving the machine from the work area, the machine must be cleaned. Furthermore, the inlet must be locked using the expanding plug attached. All other equipment must be regarded as contaminated and be treated thereafter. If possible, use a special suitable room. Proper personnel protective equipment must be used. After service, all parts which are contaminated must be correctly disposed of in plastic bags according to all regulations. If the vacuum cleaner has to be used for other purposes, it is extremely important that the vacuum cleaner is cleaned, to avoid the spread of hazardous dust. Accessories Part.no.
