Emptying dust extractors and vacuums

We need a page for this! Maybe the following will work.

DustFX Dust Collector

DustFX dust collectors must be emptied when the dust is halfway up the viewing window. This equals approximately one standard garbage bag worth of dust. Overfilling the dust collectors is inconsiderate towards other members and can cause a fire.

Please check the condition of the dust collector before and after use.

To empty the DustFX collector:

1. Wear a dust mask or respirator
2. Undo the holding strap
3. Remove the canvas bag
4. Empty the canvas bag into a standard garbage bag
5. Replace the canvas bag
6. Tighten the strap, ensuring that there are no gaps between the top of the collector and the bag
7. Rotate the filter wiping handle (on the top/side) around the dust collector to clean the filter
8. Place any full garbage bags in the garbage area by the paint booth

Cyclone Dust Collector

Under development.

Empty the cyclone dust collector after each use. If it is less than halfway full, empty it into a garbage bin. If it is more than halfway full, replace the bag.

Laser Room Blue Vacuum

Empty the bag into the garbage bin. The existing bag is reusable.
