1. Use of product as directed
• This dust removal system is for collection of dust and debris when cleaning bore holes
in construction base materials like concrete, masonry, natural stone or wood.
• The use of this dust removal system is not allowed for cleaning bore holes in steel or
other metal based materials.
• Cleaning might be done with round steel brushes and compressed air.
• Base material might be dry or wet (wet: use appropriate vacuum cleaner).
• Assignment for diameters of round steel brushes, blow-out gun, extension tubes/hoses
or air nozzles sticking through the sealing disc of the dust removal system see table 1.
• The dust removal system has always to be used in conjunction with a vacuum cleaner.
The minimum of sucking conditions / technical requirements are specified under 3.
Operation.
• Maximum application temperature of the dust removal system is 50°C / 120°F.
• The dust removal system can be cleaned from dust by using water or cloth. No solvents
are allowed for dust removal system cleaning.
• This dust removal system is not designed and tested for use during bore hole drilling.
Therefore this application is not allowed.
2. Safety rules
• Always wear protective goggles and protective gloves when using the
dust removal system due to the fact that the sealing disc might not be
100% tight or dust may blown out between the base material and the
dust removal system. This might happen, if the cleaning air flow is hig-
her than the sucking volume of the vacuum cleaner used.
• Secure dust removal system against dropping down in wall and overhe-
ad applications, because it is not guaranteed that the dust removal
system will stay at the construction base material by the vacuum-based
force during operation.
3. Operation
3.1 Before use
• Clean used dust removal system before reuse to improve the visibility.
• Check dust removal system (body, quick clamping ring and sealing disc) for damages
before use. If any parts are cracked, partly broken, worn-out or lost, use a new dust
removal system.
• An appropriate sealing disc has to be selected and installed according to table 1.
Table 1:
Sealing disc
with 8mm / 5/16" hole
no sealing disc
• Sealing disc has to be properly fixed into the dust removal system body.
• Dust removal system has properly to be connected to a vacuum cleaner according to
the vacuum cleaner requirements.
Vacuum cleaner requirements:
- Sucking air flow at hose end: min. 42 Nl/sec. / 1.5 cu.ft/sec.
- Vacuum at hose end:
- Wet bore holes, wet base materials: use vacuum cleaner which is able to handle wet
dust and water.
- M-type vacuum cleaner is recommended.
