Operation (dry use)

Setting up

1.Position the vacuum in the working area.

2.Ensure dust collection bag is fitted to collection cone.

3.Plug vacuum into power supply and switch on power supply.

IMPORTANT!

Ensure vacuum is set to OFF position prior to turning on power supply.

4.Disconnect filter link hose from top of secondary filter housing.

5.Switch machine to ON position for 2 seconds and place hand over filter link hose coupling. Feel with hand whether machine is sucking or blowing.

6.If machine is blowing, wait 1 minute (for motor to completely stop turning) and switch machine to other direction using FWD/REV switch.

IMPORTANT!

Always remove key from FWD/REV switch. This will lock switch and make it impossible to change direction of motor when machine is running.

7.Once machine direction is set correctly it is ready for use with grinding machine.

Cleaning the primary filters.

After every 10-20 minutes of operation, the primary filters will need cleaning as dust will buildup on the inside of the filter socks. The easiest and most effec- tive way to clear the dust buildup on the filter sock is as follows:

1.Switch the machine to the off position.

2.Using a large rubber hammer/mallet, tap the top surface of the primary filter housing 10 times. While this is happening you will notice all the dust from inside the unit drop into the plastic bag attached to the collection cone.

Changing the dust bags.

Once the dust bag has collected around 20 kg of dust, to avoid lifting hazards caused by overfilling of dust bags, the dust bag should be changed.

1.Clear the primary filters of dust as outlined previous- ly and agitate bag so that dust settles in the bottom of the bag.

2.Switch the machine back into ON position (you will notice the air is sucked from the plastic bag).

3.Tie bag off below the collection cone using a cable tie or other bag tie.

4.Release elastic strap and remove sealed bag.

IMPORTANT!

Use extreme caution when releasing and re- attaching elastic strap.

5.Using elastic strap, attach new empty plastic bag (you will notice the air is sucked from the plastic bag).

6.Machine is now ready to be used for duct collection again.

IMPORTANT!

It is important to keep vacuum running during the bag changing process. This will keep the valve in the collection cone closed ensuring no dust will drop out from within the collection cone when bag changing is being performed.

This method will greatly reduce operator exposure to fine dust particles when using the equipment. It is strongly advisable that all operators use a dust mask/respirator when changing dust bags or performing mainte- nance on the machine.

DC5500 specifications

The Husqvarna DC5500 is a cutting-edge dust collector designed for professional use in construction and renovation projects. Known for its efficiency and effective dust management capabilities, the DC5500 plays a vital role in maintaining a clean and safe work environment by minimizing airborne dust particles.

One of the key features of the Husqvarna DC5500 is its powerful suction capability.

With a suction power of 1800 m³/h, it can handle multiple heavy tasks simultaneously, making it ideal for use in conjunction with various power tools.

The DC5500 utilizes advanced filtration technology, featuring a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter that captures 99.99% of all particles 0.3 microns and larger. This high level of filtration is crucial for protecting the health of workers, especially in environments where fine particles are generated. The pre-filter extends the life of the HEPA filter by capturing larger dust particles before they reach it. The filter system is designed for easy cleaning, allowing operators to maintain optimal performance without frequent replacements.

Portability and ease of use are also notable characteristics of the DC5500. It features a compact design with integrated wheels, enabling easy movement around the job site. The lightweight construction means it can be transported without much effort, making it a suitable choice for contractors who work at different locations. Additionally, the ergonomic handle allows for comfortable carrying, adding to its user-friendly design.
