Emptying The Drum; Cleaning The Canister - Craftex CX401 User Manual

EMPTYING THE DRUM

You should empty the collection when it is
approximately 3/4 full. If the drum is full and
you continue to use the Cyclone, you may
have larger dust particles enter the filter
and damage the canister.
During your first few uses of the machine,
continue to check the drum and to see how
quickly it fills up. This will give a good idea
about maintenance in the future. Machines
such as table saws and sanders produce
fine dust and will fill the drum slower than
machines such as planers and jointers
which produce curly shavings.

CLENING THE CANISTER
FILTER
The canister on your CX401 is equipped
with a handle to clean the built-up dust from
the canister filter pleats.
To clean the filter, rotate the handle back
and fort in each direction. The built up dust
from the inner walls of the canister filter falls
into the plastic bag.
