Wanting a cheap vacuum cleaner for a workshop mainly to clean up wood dust and found that Screwfix have their Titan wet and dry on offer today at £40The gotcha seems to be"Not Suitable for L, M or H Class Dusts"Class L: slightly hazardous dustDust extraction class L includes house dust and dusty substances such as sand, plaster and chalk.Class M: moderately hazardous dustDust extraction class M is the middle category in terms of harm to health, and it includes wood and metal dust as well as paint particles.Class H: highly hazardous dustThis dust extraction class covers substances which are extremely hazardous to health and carcinogenic, such as asbestos, mould spores, lead dust and mineral fibres, but also very small particles such as flour dust and different types of inorganic fibre.It seems that Screwfix are selling a vacuum cleaner that is not suitable for anything in it's dry mode.
