Spånsug, Felder RL 125

General information

The Felder RL 125 is a powerfull chip extractor connected to most of the machines in the woodshop. A sound absorber was added on top of the machine to keep the noise level acceptable. A combination of 100mm fixed pipes and flexible hoses with doors are used to direct the suction to the desired machine.

To use the vacuum, start the machine by turning the red knob and open the desired door connecting to the machine you are using. Check before starting that all the other doors are closed in order to get the most flow.

The vacuum should be used at anytime with the following machines:

• Table saw (dedicated hose)
• Table router and planer/jointer use the same hose. You can use it to clean around them as well.
• Band saw (dedicated hose)
• Miter saw (dedicated hose)
• Beltsander (dedicated hose)
• Lathe (one dedicated hose with large funnel)

It is not required to use the dust collection on the drill press.

Regularly check for the level of dust in the bag, and properly replace the plastic bag if needed. See instructions below.

Safety information

Things to consider when using the machine to not hurt the machine, others, and yourself.

Not much risks of injuring yourself, but a few things to keep in mind to keep the machine running safely:

• Do not cut or sand any wet wood as you could clog the filter (which is an expensive spare part)
• Check the level of dust in the bag and change the bag when reaching the maximum level.
• On the left side of the machine, there is a handle that you can pull a few times to clean the filter, do not perform this when the machine is running.
• Do not obstruct the air output.

Emptying the chip collector

Pull the black handle a few times to clean the filter.

To empty the chip collector:

• Before changing the bag, turn off the machine and pull the black handle a few times to clean the filter. Wait a while to let the fine particles settle.
• Pull the large handle upwards to lower the chip collector to the floor.
• Lift out the full bag and throw it in the garbage room. (Take the keycard located in the cleaning closet outside the metalroom, and go to the garbage room which is the leftmost door on the truck loading dock out back. The door code is on the keycard.)
• Take a new 200l bag from the box on the ground next to the dust collector.
• Roll in the collector and pull the handle down to lift it up and connect it. Make sure it is well aligned with the machine.
• Dispose of the full bag according to the instructions in Sophantering

  (Dated) Do not cover the hole when replacing the bag. (The hole exists to prevent the bag being sucked up into the filter. The hole allows a low pressure beneath the bag to keep it sucked down. This was replaced with a hose connected to the back.)
