What makes the 1230 M-AFC different from the L-Class version?The 1230 M-AFC is an M-Class dust extractor, meaning it’s built for hazardous dust like MDF, silica, and other fine particles. It meets Australian SafeWork compliance standards and includes Automatic Filter Cleaning (AFC)—a must-have for consistent suction during demanding jobs.
Is this model eligible for the SafeWork NSW $1,000 rebate?Yes! This model is eligible for the SafeWork NSW rebate when purchased as part of a compliant dust control setup. It’s ideal for tradies needing to meet current safety requirements on job sites.
What is Automatic Filter Cleaning (AFC)?AFC is an internal system that automatically blasts the filter clean during operation. This helps maintain powerful suction, extends filter life, and reduces downtime—perfect for heavy-duty, all-day use.
Can I use this extractor with electric or pneumatic tools?Absolutely. It features auto-start functionality via a power socket (for electric tools) or with Mirka pneumatic tools when connected through an optional pneumatic box.
Is it suitable for wet use as well?Yes, the 1230 M-AFC can be used for both wet and dry extraction. Just make sure to remove the dust bag before vacuuming liquids.
What’s the capacity of the tank and dust bag?The tank holds 30 litres, and it uses Mirka fleece dust bags for easy, hygienic disposal. You can also run it bagless if needed for wet use.
Can I transport it easily?Yes. It’s designed for portability with large rear wheels, lockable front casters, a flat top for stacking systainers, and a low centre of gravity for stability on-site or in the van.
