SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Do not use the machine in places where there is a risk of explosion or re. Do
not approach the machine with naked ames or other.

• Use the machine in a dry environment, not subject to condensaon phenome­na of atmospheric humidity and protected from direct exposure to atmospher­ic agents and sunlight.

• Always use the machine in adequate lighng condions. The environment of

use must be well venlated and in compliance with the regulaons in force on

hygiene and safety at work.

• Do not use the machine in harsh environmental condions: the ambient tem­perature must be between 5 ° C and 40 ° C, with a humidity level less than
80%.

• Check that the electrical power supply system of the machine is up to standard
and equipped with appropriate protecon devices against current leakage and
short circuit.

• The use of the product must be preceded by adequate sta training and by

reading this User Manual.

6

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• In case of breakdown or malfuncon of the machine DO NOT USE IT AND
CLEARLY LABEL IT AS OUT OF THE SERVICE. Contact our Customer Service for
any repairs.

• Wear suitable personal protecve equipment (PPE) during use, maintenance
and cleaning of the machine.

• During the maintenance phases, do not disperse any residues in the surround-

ing environment, but comply with the current regulaons.

WELDING

• The intended use of the machine is the sucon of welding fumes in industry

and automove workshops: it is forbidden to use it to suck up other sub
stances (dust, liquids, vapors, etc.), especially if ammable, explosive, corro
sive, etc

• The machine must only be used in a work environment protected from at-

mospheric agents.

cable and exible hose are not placed in dangerous areas or where they can
hinder other operators.

• The machine was not designed to be used in a potenally explosive atmos­phere: its use in environments where there is a risk of re or explosion is
prohibited.

• It is forbidden to use it with systems for capturing and conveying the ow

rate that do not allow the entry of air at room temperature as prescribed.

• SIP Industrial Products disclaims any liability for damage to the machine it­self, to people or property caused by the incorrect use of the collecon cap
or the use of inappropriate hoods.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ELECTRICAL

• ELECTRICAL RISK:

• It is forbidden to perform repairs or maintenance on the machine when it is

connected to the electrical power system; however, should it be necessary
to operate with the machine powered on, this pracce can only be carried
out by Qualied Personnel, with experse in the electrotechnical eld, or by
SIP Industrial Products / SIP Service Agent.

• Adopt all the precauons according to the regulaons in force if you have to
operate with the machine powered on: wear insulang gloves and shoes and
use insulang mats and insulated tools. Also check that the system to which
the machine is connected is protected from leaks and short circuits, as re­quired by current legislaon

• RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION:

• The machine cannot be used in environments with a high risk of re or ex-

plosion. It is forbidden to store, even temporarily, potenally ammable or

deagrang substances in the rooms where the extracon system is in­stalled.

• RISK OF FAILURE OR MALFUNCTIONING:

• Long use of the machine in parcularly severe environmental condions

(brackish environment, excessive temperature, condensaon, presence of
dust, exposure to atmospheric agents, etc.), can cause malfuncons or fail­ures of the product and compromise its safety.

• Respect the requirements indicated in the "Safety Warnings" relang to the
work environment, reported in this User Manual.

• RISK OF INCORRECT INTERPRETATION OF SAFETY LABELS:

• Following the idencaon of the main sources of danger that emerged

from the Risk Analysis, Safety Sckers, with unied symbols, were applied to
the machine to signal these sources of danger. Over me, these sckers can
become illegible or dicult to interpret due to aging or wear.

• The user is required to immediately replace the Safety Sckers that become
illegible due to aging, wear or damage.

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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

To start & stop the extractor. ( see Control Panel page 14)

• Plug in the mains plug into a socket and switch on.

• Turn the recessed rotary ON/OFF switch on the side of the extractor to ON.

• The power indicaon light will illuminate.

• Place the self supporng arm over the weld area. Keep the distance between

the hood and the workpiece to less than 400mm.

• Press the Green ON buon.

• The extractor will now suck up and extract the welding fumes.

• On compleon of the welding, press the Red OFF buon to turn o.

• Turn the rotary ON/OFF switch to the OFF posion.

• Switch o at the mains supply.

START / STOP

NOTE: Prior to every use check the suction hood. There is a fine

metal mesh, ensure that it is not clogged / obstructed so that the
welding fume can be extracted unhindered.

!

NOTE: Visually inspect the condition on the mains input cable and
also the extraction hose prior to use. Ensure that neither are dam­aged. Only use extractor on even, level ground.

!

WARNING: Do not allow the extracon hose to come into contact
with the weld being performed as the high temperature will cause
damage.

WARNING: Care should be taken when adjusting the arm. When fully
extending the arm get assistance to prevent the extractor from tip­ping over. Never move the extractor using the handle on the hood,
and never move the extractor with the arm fully extended.

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 a inspecon window to aid the with the observaon of
the condion of the main cartridge lter.

The extractor is ed with 2 lters:-

1: Mesh Spark Arrestor

2: Main Cartridge

SPARK ARRESTOR ACCESS / REPLACEMENT

The spark arrestor mesh is located beneath the arm connecon spigot. Fig.5.

It is accessible via the small access panel on the side of the extractor. Fig.6.

Access

The main cartridge lter is accessed via the top of the extractor.

• Remove the Hand Nut from the top of the access panel. Fig.7

• Remove the access panel & unscrew the retaining nut. Fig.8

• Li the main cartridge up and out using the 2 lugs. Fig.9.

• The lter can be cleaned by shaking or by using compressed air.

• Unscrew the 6 retaining screws and remove the panel.

• The spark arrestor can be slid out.

• The lter can be cleaned with compressed air and it is also washable.

• Do not re-t if wet.

NOTE: Do not disperse the used filter dust into the environment.
Deliver used filters to specialised disposal companies in accordance
with current legislation.

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.
