Vibration Detection

The Auto-Start Remote 5 is equipped with vibration detection. Once the utilized cordless tool is activated, the Auto-Start Remote 5 detects the vibrations of the activated cordless tool and automatically switches on the dust extractor.

• If the cordless tool is switched off, the dust extractor will switch off automatically.
• Note: After the tool is switched off, in order to empty the hose, the dust extractor switches off 10-15 seconds later.

Auto Starting/Stopping the Dust Extractor

• Once the plug of the dust extractor has been inserted into the primary power source, the switch of the dust extractor has been set to Power Tool Activation Mode, Plug 4 of Receiver 1 has been inserted into the plug socket of the dust extractor and both the Auto-Start Remote 5 and Receiver 1 have been successfully paired, your auto start system is ready to be used.
• Ensure that the Auto-Start Remote 5 is flush and snug against the mounting surface of the cordless tool by adjusting the position on the supplied Attachment Band 10.
• Insert the extraction hose into the dust extractor attachment of the cordless tool.
• Once the cordless power tool is turned on/off, a start/stop signal is sent from the Auto-Start Remote 5 to Receiver 1 and the corresponding dust extractor is turned on/off.

Utilizing Manual Mode

• Briefly press the Start/Stop Button 7 on the Auto-Start Remote 5. The dust extractor will be switched on.
• To switch the dust extractor off, briefly press the Start/Stop Button 7 on the Auto-Start Remote 5 again.
• Note: If the dust extractor is switched off using the Start/Stop Button 7 on the Auto-Start Remote 5, the dust extractor will automatically switch on once the Auto-Start Remote 5 detects the vibrations of the activated cordless tool

Maintenance

• Remove any visible dirt and debris using a brush or a damp cloth. Do not use any detergents or solvents.

Coin Cell Replacement

• The coin cell must always be replaced with a coin cell of the same type. There is a risk of explosion if any other coin cell type is utilized than what is recommended.

Removal of the Coin Cell

The drained coin cell may leak and damage the product or cause personal injury.

1. Open the Battery Compartment Cover 9 on the rear of the Auto-Start Remote 5 with a coin or small flat-head screwdriver by turning counterclockwise (Fig. 8). Once the Battery Compartment Cover is loose, remove the battery compartment cover from the Auto-Start Remote.
2. Carefully remove the older coin cell and insert the new coin cell into the Auto-Start Remote 5 (Fig. 8). To ensure the new coin cell is correctly inserted, follow the markings on the Auto-Start Remote carefully.
3. Once the new coin cell has been inserted correctly, reinstall the Battery Compartment Cover 9 onto the rear of the Auto-Start Remote 5 and turn the Battery Compartment clockwise utilizing a coin or a small flathead screwdriver until it can go no further (Fig. 8). This will ensure that the Battery Compartment Cover is properly secure.
