OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Warning Read these electrical safety instructions thoroughly before

connecting the product to the mains supply.

This extractor is for use with a 230V UK domestic socket and should be grounded/

earthed. Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet that has the same
configuration as the plug (see Fig. 4). If an extension lead is used, make sure the
cable size is sufficient as to be able to take the current of the extractor.

Check with a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not understood
or there is doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
licensed electrician.

Improper installation of the grounding plug will result in a risk of electric shock. If

repair or replacement of the cable or plug is necessary, consult a qualified electri­cian.

We strongly recommend that this machine is connected to the mains supply
through a Residual Current Device (RCD).

If you are not sure, consult a qualified electrician. DO NOT try to do any repairs.

18

MAINTENANCE

The replacement of the lters, which implies clogging / air ow restricon, can vary
in terms of frequency and duraon of me according to the type of use.

Factors to be taken into consideraon are:

• Material to be welded (each material and each alloy produces dierent
fumes / micro-dust);

• Type of welding (each method to perform MIG, TIG, MMA, etc);

• Elements in contact (for example oil, grease, paint, etc. make the generated

smoke more “aggressive”):

The extractor is ed with 3 lters:-

1: Mesh Spark Arrestor

2: Primary Filter

3. High Eciency Filter

FILTER ACCESS & REPLACEMENT

Access to the lter is simple and straight forward:

• Remove the sucon hose from the inlet ange.

• Undo both the ange assembly catches to access the lters. Fig.1

• Remove the front ange assembly / cover.

• Remove the retaining bracket.

• Slide out each lter in turn.

ATTENTION: The machine could contain dusts which is harmful to
health. Repair, maintenance, lter replacement cleaning operaons
must be carried out by suitably trained personnel equipped with ade­quate personal protecve equipment (PPE): Gloves, Goggles and Faci­al lter mask.
