Using the Extractor
Always start the extractor running before starting the dust producing machinery. Also allow the
extractor to run for 10 seconds after the other machine is switched off to allow dust in the hose
system to clear.
Empty the collection bag before it is overfull and dispose of the waste in accordance with the
current requirements of your local authority.
Please Note: Maximum recommended total hose length in use at any time is 7 metres. Longer
hose lengths may be used, but will reduce the performance.
When using the extractor with machines or power tools which have a smaller diameter connection,
it is recommended to run the 100mm diameter hose from the extractor up to the machines dust
outlet and fit the appropriate sized reducer at that point. This will maintain the airflow rate of the
unit.
For some applications it may be more convenient to use a smaller diameter hose. This will
inevitably reduce the performance of the machine and the length of small diameter hose should be
kept to a minimum.
Adjustments
If one of the collection bags fills up
faster than the other, this can be
adjusted using the ‘Splitter’ which is
located inside the Left Collector
Drum.
Remove the filter bag from the drum
and locate the splitter.
The splitter is a metal plate, fixed at
one end. To adjust the air flow
between the 2 collection bags bend it
from the floating end. Bending it out,
into the airflow more, will deposit
more material in the first collection
bag.
Optional Items
1 Micron Cartridge Filter Upgrade
The standard cloth filter, filters down to 2 microns. This optional cartridge replaces
the cloth bag and filters down to 1 micron without any loss in performance.
NB The W792 has 2 filters and both would need to be upgraded to achieve the 1
micron filter level.
Hoses
A range of transparent flexible extraction hose in different diameters from 38mm
up to 150mm
