5. Assembly & Operation of RSDE1, RSDE2 & DX4000
Please note: The dust filtration systems of RSDE1 and RSDE2 consist of a cartridge filter and outer disposable Fig. 5.1
paper filter bag to provide 0.5 micron filtration.
The DX4000 and DX5000 feature additional cloth filters for improved filtration and extended filter life.

PLEASE NOTE: The clamp which fixes the hood assembly to the drum body of your machine is fitted to
protect the unit during transit and should not be used once the extractor is installed.

1. Attach one end of the flexible hose to the machine inlet and secure with a Jubilee clip or easy fit cuff
(Not supplied with RSDE1).
2. Place the cartridge filter with open end uppermost inside a paper filter-bag and fold the top edges of the
paper bag down inside the cartridge, making sure not to fold the edges any more than 50mm inside the
cartridge filter. Push this on to the motor body; making sure that it is securely positioned.
3. Position the hood unit on the machine body.
4. After carefully positioning the end of the flexible hose for maximum effect, connect to power outlet.
Your dust extractor is now ready for use.

Important
• Always ensure that the end of the 102mm diameter flexible hose is not completely covered or blocked or
the machine may be ‘pulled’ suddenly towards the end of the hose (see Fig 5.1).
• The 102mm diameter flexible hose is intended mainly for connection to woodworking machinery to collect Fig. 5.2
sawdust and shavings.
• For cleaning purposes we recommend the use of the 32mm diameter flexible hose
(optional extra - part no. DX1500B).
• If the 102mm diameter hose is used for cleaning always ensure that the hose is angled as
shown in Fig. 5.1.

Fitting RSDE/B wheel kit to the RSDE2

1. Remove the head unit from the body.

2. Turn the body upside down so the open end is resting on the floor.
3. Place the wheel kit on the body with the castors facing up.
4. To easily position the wheel kit in place it is recommended to firstly have the wheel kit in an
‘X‘ position. (Fig. 5.2)
5. Now move the wheel kit to be evenly spaced around the base of the body (Fig. 5.3) and the wheels will Fig. 5.3
become secured to the body of the extractor.
6. Finally tighten the hex nut in the middle of the wheel kit to eliminate movement.
7. Stand the body on the castors and attach the head unit once again.

6. Operation of the RSDE2/A
The RSDE2/A is fitted with an automatic switching function which allows the extractor to be started Fig. 6.1
automatically when a power tool is connected via the 3 pin socket in the head of the extractor.

To use the extractor in manual mode, the selector switch ‘A’ should be in the position marked ‘MANUAL’. The
extractor is then operated as normal by using the ON/OFF switch ‘B’ (Fig. 6.1). A B
C
To use automatic switching function, first ensure that the ON/OFF switch ‘B’ is in the OFF position. Insert
the 3 pin plug from the power tool in to the socket ‘C’ in the head of the extractor, and change the selector
switch ‘A’ to the ‘AUTOMATIC’ position (Fig. 6.1).
Ensure that the hose from the extractor is connected to the dust outlet on the power tool being used and
then change the ON/OFF switch ‘B’ to the ON position. The dust extractor will not start until the power tool
is switched on and will continue to run until the power tool is switched off.

PLEASE NOTE: It is normal for the extractor to continue to run for up to 20 seconds after the power tool is
switched off in order to clear any remaining waste from the hose. Do not change the position of either of the
switches on the extractor until the automatic switching process has completed its cycle.

PLEASE NOTE: It is important that the auto switching function is not overload by running power tools that
exceed the maximum power capacity of the unit. The maximum input rating of any power tool used with this
equipment should not exceed 1900 Watts. The total loading for the extractor and the power tools combined
must not exceed 13 amps.

9. Maintenance
i Please Note: Before any type of maintenance is carried out, it is important
that the machine is switched off and disconnected from the power supply.
Emptying the drum
1. Remove the head unit from the drum.
2. Leaving the cloth filter in place (DX4000 & DX5000 only), carefully shake the filter and leave for a few
Kg

minutes for the dust inside the drum to settle.

3. Remove the cloth filter from the drum. i
4. Empty the drum.
5. The cloth filter can be cleaned if required (see below), and refitted.
6. Replace the head unit.

Replacing filters
The filters should be inspected every time the unit is emptied and particularly if any reduction in Fig. 9.1
performance is noted.
The cloth filter can be cleaned using a vacuum cleaner, and occasionally washed in warm water.
The paper filters trap fine dust, and to prevent becoming clogged should be renewed regularly
(part no. DX1500E).
The cartridge filters should be cleaned at the same time, and should be renewed annually (part no. DX1500F).

To change the filters:

1. Remove the head unit.
2. The cartridge filter is contained within the paper filter bag, these can be removed by simply pulling
them free.
3. The paper filter bag can be removed from around the cartridge filter and disposed of.
4. The cartridge filter can then be carefully cleaned with a vacuum cleaner, or renewed if required. Fig. 9.2
5. Place the cartridge filter inside a new paper filter bag and fold the top edges of the
paper filter bag down inside the cartridge, noting not to fold the edges any more than 50mm inside the
cartridge filter.
6. Replace the filters into the machine by pressing them back into position.
7. Replace the head unit.

Renewing motor brushes

The motor carbon brushes should not need replacing for at least 1000 hours. These are contained within
the horizontal housings on top of the motor. To fit new carbon brushes (Fig 9.1), first ensure the machine is
Kg

switched off and disconnected from the power supply, and, having removed the machine lid and located the
brush housings, undo the two screws ithat secure the carbon brushes (Fig 9.2). Remove the wires connecting
the carbon brushes to the motor electrics. Insert a new brush onto each side of the motor housing and screw
into place to secure and re-connect the wires. When replacing motor brushes, take care not to allow dust, oil,
water etc. to get into the motor.
