IMPORTANT SERVICE INFORMATION:
SAVE SHIPPING BOX AND FOAM FOR FUTURE
SERVICE. SHIPPING WITHOUT PROPER FOAM
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 standard wall socket. Try the StoneVac II by pushing the switch to the
“ON” position.
3. The vacuum hose supplied slips onto the vacuum connection in the back of the unit and the other end
connects to the collection device desired. The ideal location for the StoneVac II is under the bench
where the user works. The single station hose supplied is 2½” x 6' long and accordions to the desired
length. 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 II 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 lter.
To use the self-cleaning feature of the StoneVac II, push and hold the Power switch in the “CLEAN”
position for several seconds. Optimum cleaning takes place 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 lter 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. Replacing the Filter Cartridge - Regularly check the lter to make sure it is secure and properly seated
against the lter mounting/sealing plate. Periodically, the lter 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 lter, follow the instructions above to remove and
empty the dust bin. With the dust bin removed, reach underneath the Filter Cartridge and unscrew the
lter retaining nut. Remove the nut and washers and pull the lter downward then forward out of the
unit. Replace the lter with a new lter 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 lter retaining nut. Improper installation may cause dust to pass into the air.
4. Electrical Protection - The StoneVac II 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.
RECOMMENDED USAGE
1. Individual work station (2½” hose) or dry model trimmer dust collection for trimming or grinding Die Stone.
While the StoneVac II was designed specically for Die Stone, it will also handle other dust developed at
the same workstation such as alloy, porcelain, and acrylic.
2. The StoneVac II can be used with abrasives or micro-blasters. If used for this application, it is important
that the lter be serviced or replaced regularly. Additionally, Vaniman’s Pre-Filter/Accumulator helps capture
abrasive before it reaches the dust collector, increasing the life of the lter.
