Trend T35 M-Class Dust Extractor (240V, 1400W)

What types of dust can the T35 safely extract?

The T35 is certified for M-Class dust extraction, making it suitable for hardwoods, softwoods, sheet materials like plywood and MDF and masonry dust including brick, plaster and silica. The 99.9% filtration efficiency down to 0.3 microns ensures safe capture of fine particles that pose health risks. It's designed for workplace limit values greater than 0.1 mg/M³, meeting professional safety standards for hazardous dust control.

How does the auto-start power takeoff function work?

The power takeoff socket automatically detects when a connected power tool is switched on and starts the extractor within seconds. It supports tools up to 2200W including routers, sanders, circular saws and planers. When you switch off the tool, the extractor continues running briefly to clear remaining dust from the hose before automatically shutting down. This feature requires no additional setup beyond plugging your tool into the extractor's power socket.

What maintenance does the automatic filter cleaning require?

The automatic filter cleaning system requires no user maintenance - it operates automatically during use. The system vibrates the HEPA cartridge filter to prevent dust buildup and maintain suction performance. The LED indicator monitors extraction velocity and alerts you when the bag needs changing or if blockages occur. You should still periodically check and replace the HEPA cartridge filter according to usage levels and dust types being extracted.

How long are the hose and power cable?

Both the extraction hose and power cable measure 7 metres each, providing a 14-metre working radius from the power source. This extended reach allows positioning the extractor away from your immediate work area, reducing noise exposure and trip hazards. The long cables eliminate frequent repositioning during large projects and enable use in spacious workshops or job sites without extension leads.

What's the difference between this and standard vacuum cleaners?

The T35 features M-Class certified HEPA filtration that captures 99.9% of particles down to 0.3 microns, far exceeding standard vacuum performance. It's specifically designed for hazardous dust extraction with reinforced filter bags and automatic filter cleaning. The power takeoff function synchronises with power tools and the extraction velocity monitoring ensures consistent performance. Standard vacuums lack these professional safety features and filtration standards.

Can I use this for wet extraction as well as dry?

Yes, the T35 handles both wet and dry extraction applications. For wet use, you'll need to remove the paper filter bag and use the unit with just the cartridge filter. The 1400W motor provides sufficient suction for liquid spills and wet debris. However, ensure you clean and dry all components thoroughly after wet use to prevent mould growth and maintain the filtration system's effectiveness.

How much does the unit weigh and is it easy to move around?

The T35 weighs 6.5kg, making it relatively lightweight for an M-Class dust extractor. The oversized rear wheels provide excellent stability and smooth rolling across workshop floors. The integrated carry handle allows easy lifting and positioning, whilst the compact canister design maintains a low centre of gravity. The cable storage system keeps cords organised during transport, preventing tangling and damage.

What's included with the extractor and what accessories might I need?

The T35 includes the main extractor unit with 7m hose, power cable and basic extraction fittings. You'll need to purchase filter bags separately for ongoing use. Additional accessories like different hose diameters, tool-specific adaptors and extension wands are available separately. The power takeoff socket accommodates standard power tool plugs without additional adaptors. Consider purchasing spare HEPA cartridge filters for heavy-use applications.
