Hi, I was wondering if fitting an M – Class filter to the above unit would be possible?
HSE have just told us we need M class extraction on site, and I would like to avoid having to use a generator, as I am running all cordless anyway.
I have a feeling it isn’t possible, but I’m pretty desperate to not have to carry a generator around.
Cheers

I don’t know if that filter will work but if it doesn’t could a flexvolt power supply work as a last resort to power a vac that accepts the m class filter?

That’s a decent idea, I’ll look into it [emoji1360]

@TylerMonk smaller than a generator and you don’t have to deal with fuel and engine maintenance. I don’t know runtime number but I would guess it wouldn’t be long.

Doesn’t look as though they sell the power bank in the uk, with uk plug and socket, unfortunately. Back to square one

Adding an m class filter doesn’t make it a legal m class vacuum. HSE would still not let you use it.
The DeWalt power bank thing is not coming to EU for legal reasons.

Do you know what the reasons are ?
