Tool / Vacuum Connection
Assembly Instructions
- Draw 4.25” diameter circle on your supplied lid. Carefully cut out 4.25” hole in lid. Use 5/16” drill bit to drill bolt holes. Note: Use the Gasket for reference.
- Turn the Quick Click separator upside-down. Place the gasket on the base of the separator and align all the holes. Place the topside of the supplied lid against gasket and align all the holes. Secure the separator, gasket and lid together using four bolts and four flange nuts. Note: Thoroughly tighten hardware to eliminate air leaks.
- Put the Quick Click separator and lid on top of your dust container and seal it airtight. Note: We recommend a drum or container that will withstand the vacuum pressure; otherwise the container may collapse when in use. The larger the container the sturdier the walls must be to prevent collapse.
- Make sure there are no air leaks at the connections. Note: Any air leak in the lid or drum may affect separation performance. Make sure to check your dust drum frequently so you do not overfill it.
- Consider use of an air flow regulator to reduce vacuum sealing.
