IMPORTANT SERVICE INFORMATION:
SAVE SHIPPING BOX AND FOAM FOR FUTURE

MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO UNIT
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove the unit and other parts from the box and check against the packing list. Remove the hose
from inside the dust bin as well as any protective paper packing material.
2. Plug the power cord into a designated 15 AMP circuit. Turn on the StoneVac by flipping the switch to
the ON position. Use the rotary switch to control the speed of the motor.
3. The 2.5" vacuum hose supplied slips onto the vacuum connection in the back of the unit and the
other end connects to the top of the Large Accumulator. The 1.5" vacuum hose connects from the
Large Accumulator's inlet arm to the collection point in your post-processing area. The ideal location
for the StoneVac is near the post-processing area. Hose extensions and adaptors are available from
your dealer. We recommend, however, that you try to keep the total length of hose less than 6 feet
between the StoneVac and the dust collection point; longer hose will reduce suction.
MAINTENANCE
1. Cleaning the Filter - When a noticeable drop in suction occurs in the unit, it is time to clean the filter.
To use the self-cleaning feature of the StoneVac, push and hold the Power switch in the “CLEAN”
position for several seconds. Optimum cleaning takes place in within 5 seconds. For best results,
wait an additional 10-15 seconds with the Power switch in the “OFF” or center position, this allows
the dust cleaned from the filter to fall into the dust bin before turning the unit on again.
2. Emptying the Dust Bin - Depending on usage, the unit will need to be emptied at different intervals.
To check the level of dust in the bin, open the door and observe the dust level. To empty, open the
door and slide the bin from the unit. Pull the edges of the bag together to close the bag for disposal.
Replace the bag with a Vaniman replacement and carefully slide the dust bin back into the unit.
Replacement bag re-order number P/N 97002 (pack of 12).

3. Servicing or Replacing the Filter Cartridge - Regularly check the filter to make sure it is secure and
properly seated against the filter mounting/sealing plate. Periodically, the filter cartridge will become
worn or clogged beyond the use of the “CLEAN” feature. In cases when dust collector usage is heavy,
changing interval may be as frequent as 3-6 months. To replace the filter, follow the instructions above
to remove and empty the dust bin. With the dust bin removed, reach underneath the Filter Cartridge
and unscrew the filter retaining nut. Remove the nut and washers and pull the filter downward then
forward out of the unit. Replace the filter with a new filter cartridge then reverse removal instructions
for proper installation. Filter Cartridge re-order P/N 97001.
NOTE: Be sure to replace the rubber washer FIRST and the metal washer SECOND. Securely fasten
the filter retaining nut. Improper installation may cause dust to pass into the air.
4. Electrical Protection - The StoneVac is protected by a circuit breaker. If the unit is plugged in and
does not operate, check to see if the circuit breaker was activated by inspecting it on the back of
the unit where the power cord enters the unit. If the circuit breaker was activated, push the button
in the center to reset it. If the unit still does not operate, contact your dealer or call the factory at
1-800-VANIMAN for technical assistance.
5. Thermal Protection - The brushless motor is thermally protected is virtually maintenance free.
However, if improper ventilation is not provided to the unit, it may overheat and shut down. Allow the
unit to cool fully, correct the ventilation problem and restart the unit.
RECOMMENDED USAGE
1. The StoneVac for Addivitve Manufacturing is best used for up to two post-processing work stations
to collect dry dust only, including Nylon 11 and Nylon 12. If you are unsure about whether a specific
dust is compatible with this unit, please contact Vaniman Manufacturing Co.
2. The StoneVac for Additive Manufacturing can also be used with abrasives or micro-blasters. Whatever
application you use this unit for, it is important that the filter be serviced or replaced regularly to maintain
suction and prolong the unit life. Additionally, Vaniman’s Pre-Filter/Accumulator helps capture abrasive
before it reaches the dust collector, increasing the life of the filter.
NOTE: WHEN REPLACING THE FILTER, PLEASE FOLLOW PROPER PROTECTION
PROTOCALS REQUIRED BASED ON THE MATERIAL YOU ARE COLLECTING. SOME
MATERIALS MAY BE HAZARDOUS AND COULD CAUSE INJURY.
