The RL 160 extraction system automatically vacuums the sliding table saw, jointer-planer, and table saw. It can independently disconnect from machines that are not in use. The extraction power is sufficient to operate all three machines simultaneously.

Regular Maintenance

  • Before and after each use, check if the dust collection container is full.
  • Two small sight glasses allow the fill level to be checked from the outside. A maximum fill line indicates the limit—exceeding it will result in significant cleaning effort.
  • After changing the dust collection bag, the filter should be cleaned. To do this, there is a slider above the compressor that must be pulled out and pushed back in. This releases fine dust trapped in the filter into the newly inserted bag.

Collection bag dimensions 740x630x1300x0.1mm (original Felder, without creditcard ).


Automation

  • The machine will show a red status light when the dust bags are full. Dust levels are measured in the center of each bin.
  • There are three sliders labeled 1, 2, and 3, corresponding to the power sockets for automatic machine startup.
    • Ensure that machines are correctly plugged into the corresponding sockets for proper operation.
  • The air filters should start whenever the air extraction starts and stay running for about 30 minutes.


Operation and Safety

  • The extraction system has its own built-in compressor, which activates when needed. It is permanently connected to the system and should not be used for any other purpose.
  • If a hose bursts, unplug the compressor immediately to prevent continuous operation.
  • The compressor plug is located directly behind the compressor.
