followed.
• Before plugging unit in to an input power source, look at the manufacturer’s label located on the exterior of the
unit and ensure the source is correctly sized in terms of Voltage and Amperes.
• Prior to use in your application, turn the unit ON, and perform a function test. To do so:
1. LOOK: Have the front and back doors been closed properly.
2. Turn switch to ON position.
3. LOOK: Is the unit level, stable, and that nothing is obstructing the extraction path.
4. LISTEN: Does the motor and suction sound smooth and within expected volumes.
5. FEEL: Place your hand on top of the unit and sense for unexpected vibration. Place you hand in front of
the intake hood/surface and sense for expected level(s) of suction.
• Inform all potential users of this equipment where they may nd and review this manual.

4.4 Principles of Operation
This product is designed to capture and clean smoke and dust from medium & heavy duty welding, soldering, and
grinding applications. When operating, air is drawn in to the nozzle, passes through the 6” diameter hose, then
through the air cleaner’s ltration system, and is exhausted through the rear discharge.
This product consists of four basic components:
1. Capture Arm(s)
2. A blower
3. Cartridge Filter
4. Motor & Electrical assemblies
• The operator is to positon the machine within operating distance, and activate the caster wheel brakes.
• The operator can then position the capture arm close enough to the worksite to capture all dust and fumes that
will be produced.
• Ensuring that all safety procedures have been followed, the operator can turn on the machine and begin working.
• When not in use, the machine should be turned o.
4.5 Failure Event
If, for some reason, during operation there is an accident, a blockage occurs, the Minihelic displays abnormal pressure
dierences, or the machine begins to act abnormally, the operator should immediately shut o the machine. This is
considered a machine failure and the following steps should be taken:
1. Turn the power switch to the OFF position.
3. Seek medical attention if an accident occurred.
4. Follow the guidelines in SECTION 5: Maintenance and Troubleshooting.
Remember, under no circumstance should the machine be turned back on while performing maintenance.

shocks or severe burns. Do not touch live electrical parts.
• Keep away from all mechanical moving parts including motor, gears, and other pinch points
while operating.
• Operating this unit causes some parts to heat to a point that will burn bare hands. Before
maintenance allow parts to cool, or use proper tools and personal protection equipment
during maintenance.
