1.4 Classification of the warnings
The warnings used in the operating instructions are divided into four different levels and shown prior to
potentially dangerous work steps. The following signal words are used depending on the type of hazard:
2 Safety
This chapter describes the essential safety requirements and warns of residual hazards that should be kept
in mind to operate the product safely. Non-observance of the safety instructions may result in risks to the life
and health of personnel, and environmental damage or material damage.
► Consult the documentation for additional welding components.
2.1 Designated use
The device described in these operating instructions may be used only for the purpose and in the manner
described in these operating instructions. The device is used to extract welding fumes and dust that is
generated during welding. The device can be used to extract fumes and dust when welding or cutting steel
with an alloy content of nickel and chrome under 30%. Any other use is considered improper. Unauthorized
modifications or changes to enhance the performance are not permitted.
► Do not exceed the maximum load data as defined by the documentation supplied. Excessive loads lead
to irreparable damage.
► Do not make any constructive changes to this product.
► Do not use or store the device outdoors where it is wet.
► During welding work outdoors, use suitable protection against the weather conditions.
► Ensure that the volume flow that is led back to the work area during operation does not exceed 50% of
the supply air of the installation area. In the event of free room ventilation, the supply air flow
corresponds to one room volume per hour. This equals a ventilation rate of 1/h (supply air flow [m³/
h] = room volume [m³] × ventilation rate [1/h]).
DANGER
Describes an imminent threatening danger. If not avoided, it may cause severe injuries or death.
WARNING
Describes a potentially dangerous situation. If not avoided, this may result in death or serious injuries.
CAUTION
Describes a potentially harmful situation. If not avoided, this may result in slight or minor injuries.
NOTICE
Describes the risk of impairing work results or material damage and indicates irreparable damage to the
device or equipment.

4 Product description
4.1 Assembly and use
The device is part of a welding, cutting and grinding system. Welding fumes, which are hazardous to health,
are generated during welding and grinding, and during laser and plasma cutting. The fumes are filtered and
cleaned by the filters inside the device. Welding fumes are extracted through an extraction hood and hose
system and then forced through filter elements. The standard configuration of the device has a pre-filter and
a primary filter. The pre-filter removes coarse dirt particles from the extracted welding fumes. Fine dirt
particles are removed by the primary filter. The dirt particles adhere to the surface of the filter material, which
causes the intake pressure on the fan to increase. The cleaned air is then returned via an air exhaust louver.
The device can be operated with a flexible extraction arm with a length of 2, 3, or 4 meters.
The device corresponds to the welding fume separation class H13.
