INSTRUCTION MANUAL
including Front - Pre - H13/14 filters
Dear Customer
Thank you for choosing a DustBlocker, made by Maxvac.
All DustBlocker’s have been manufactured with the greatest care and we hope that you will be
happy with the DustBlocker you have just purchased. However, if the DustBlocker does not
fully comply with your expectations please contact your supplier.
These instructions are intended for MaxVac DustBlockers, model DB500.
1. DustBlockers can only be used for filtering dry, non-explosive dust.
2. DustBlockers cannot be used in moist rooms or rooms where an explosion hazard
may exist.
3. MaxVac cannot be held liable if the DustBlocker is used for other applications or if the
DustBlocker is not used in accordance with this manual.
GENERAL
• When removing the packaging, please check whether the DustBlocker has been
damaged during transport.
• Damaged cables that have been bent or torn can be dangerous during use of the device
and must be replaced immiediately in order to prevent personal injuries.
• In order to prevent personal injuries and property damages you must place the device on
a sturdy base so the DustBlocker cannot fall over.
• Make sure you keep fingers clear when opening and closing the machine filter housing.
• In order to prevent a risk of explosion, you should not place the device in a room that
may contain explosive gasses.
• Switch the unit to the off position (0) before removing the plug from the socket. If the
switch is on sparks may be generated between the socket and the plug of the device.
• Prior to performing maintenance, first remove the plug from the socket in order to prevent
electrical shock.
• When replacing the pre filter or hepafilter it is possible that dust is dispersed that can be
dangerous for people’s health. Therefore, users should wear safety glasses, safety gloves
and a respiration mask that comply with protection class FFP3.
• Do not drill through or break open the H14 hepafilter.
OPERATION
The operating panel is at the side of the DustBlocker and is identical for all
models. At the top of the operating panel you will see from left to right:
Red led with a warning signal (gives a signal if the H14/G4 filter has to be
replaced) (1)
Red switch (position 1-0) (2)
Connect the plug to the socket on the front of the machine to start the
device (3).
FILTERS AND FILTER OPERATION
The DustBlocker separates the dust in three phases:
During the first phase, the front filter is used. The filter collects the larger dust
particles and protects the Pre and H13/14 hepafilter.
The second phase is a Pre Filter which collects the fner particles and protects
the H13/14 hepafilter.
During the third phase, the H13/14 hepafilter is used. This filter will collect the
dust that is dangerous for people’s health and that is not visible to the naked
eye.
FILTER REPLACEMENT
The front filter which sits behind the metal mesh needs to be replaced on a
regular basis according to the contamination of the air in the environment. This
will lengthen the life of the Pre Filter and H13/14 filters.

At the front of your DustBlocker you wlll see a Pre Filter.
If the machine is used daily we recommend changing it
twice a year. Of course this depends on the contaimination
of the air in the environment. If you regularly replace your
Pre Filter you will lengthen the life of the hepafilter.
It is simple to change the filter by removing the two lock
pins at the sides and pull the filter out. At the top of the
Pre Filter you will find a label with the item number.
(Compare this number with the number
on the old filter). Make sure that you place the filter
as indicated on the label : hAirflow
The H13/14 hepafilter can be replaced by following the same procedure
as above. If you use the machine daily we would recommend changing the
hepafilter once a year. Of course, this depends on the contaimination of the air
in the environment. At the top of the hepafilter you will find a label with the item
number (compare this number with the number on the old filter). Make sure you
place the filter as indicated on the label: hAirflow.
CAUTION
If the H13/14 hepafilter is exposed to water, this may shorten or end the filter’s
lifespan.
Pre Filters and H13/14 hepafilters cannot be cleaned and must be replaced if
they are saturated.
FILTER INDICATOR
The DB500 is provided with a filter indicator connected to a warning led that
measures the pressure drop in the filter. In case of a pressure drop that is too
high, the red led will light up and the hepafilter must be replaced. If the
DustBlocker is used while the warning led lights up, this could affect the
operation of the device.
