If you purchase from us, we can provide you with some instruction as to how to mount your unit and adapt it for us in fossil preparation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe would recommend mounting the unit on a shelf or a workbench, in the same orientation that it is supplied in. This shelf can be mounted high up on a wall, but make sure you can either reach the on\/off button or hire an electrician to reconfigure this with a wall switch. We have ours in a separate shed, with the ducting coming through the wall to reduce the noise in our prep lab. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUniquely, we at ZOIC PalaeoTech, stock the adaptors and fittings you need to modify this extractor to become functional for fossil preparation and to vent the dust outdoors. When the unit is purchased from us, you will be able to select the option to purchase the additional fittings required.
