FAQs
What is the primary function of this bag clamp?
The primary function is to securely fasten the dust extractor's collection bag or filter bag to the drum, ensuring an airtight seal to prevent dust leakage into the workshop.
What is the diameter of the dust collector drum this clamp is designed for?
This clamp is specifically designed for dust collector drums with a 500mm diameter.
How wide is the strap on this bag clamp?
The strap on this bag clamp is 16mm wide.
Is this clamp compatible with dust extractors other than Charnwood models?
Yes, it is compatible with similar models from other manufacturers, provided they have a 500mm diameter collector drum.
How do I adjust the tightness of the clamp?
The clamp features a spring-loaded hook with multiple locking positions. You can adjust the tightness by engaging the hook into different positions to achieve the desired seal.
What material is the clamp made from?
The clamp is made from durable metal.
Can I use this clamp if my dust extractor drum is slightly smaller or larger than 500mm?
While the clamp is designed for 500mm drums, the multiple locking positions offer some flexibility. However, for optimal performance and seal, it is best used on a drum that is precisely 500mm in diameter. Significant deviations may compromise the seal.
Troubleshooting
Clamp does not create a tight seal
Ensure the clamp is the correct size (500mm diameter) for your drum. Check that the dust bag is positioned correctly and not obstructing the seal. Utilize the multiple locking positions on the spring-loaded hook to achieve maximum tension.
Spring-loaded hook is stiff or difficult to operate
Inspect the hook mechanism for any dust or debris that may be obstructing its movement. Clean the area around the hook. If the stiffness persists, a small application of a suitable lubricant might help, but ensure it does not contaminate the dust collection system.
Clamp appears to be bending or losing shape
Verify that the clamp is being used on a drum of the specified 500mm diameter. Forcing the clamp onto a smaller or larger diameter drum can cause deformation. Ensure the clamp is not subjected to excessive external force.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To install the Charnwood Dust Extractor Bag Clamp, simply open the spring-loaded hook, position the clamp around the rim of your 500mm diameter dust collector drum, and ensure the filter or collection bag is correctly placed. Release the hook to engage, and adjust the tension using the multiple locking positions until a tight seal is formed against the drum.
Compatibility: This clamp is designed to fit Charnwood Dust Extractor models W691, W692, W693, W791, W792, W891, W892, and similar models with a 500mm diameter collector drum. Always verify your dust extractor's drum diameter before purchasing.
Care: Wipe the clamp with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the metal finish. Ensure the spring mechanism remains free of debris to maintain its functionality.
