4.1 To Operate Safely
SECTION 4 - OPERATION
• Read and understand SECTION 1: Safety Precautions and ensure SECTION 3: Pre-Installation has been 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 find and review this manual.
4.3 Pre-Use Checklist
• The machine controls are basic, and consist solely of a power switch with
ON and OFF positions.
• If the machine is equipped with a Minihelic differential pressure gauge,
the Minihelic should read between .8 and 4.2 inches W.C. during normal
operation.
• For a reading of more than 4 inches W.C, consult SECTION 5: Maintenance
and Troubleshooting as filter servicing may be required

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 7” diameter hose, then through the air
cleaner’s filtration 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 off.
4.5 Failure Event
If, for some reason, during operation there is an accident, a blockage occurs, the Minihelic displays abnormal pressure differences,
or the machine begins to act abnormally, the operator should immediately shut off the machine. This is considered a machine
failure and the following steps should be taken:
This product consists of four basic components:
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.

Service more frequently if the unit is used in severe conditions.
1. Review Section 5.1: To Maintain this product Safely
2. Consult APPENDIX 4: Filter Installation.
3. Turn off power and disconnect input power cord.
4. Detach Rear Panel by first unclasping twist-lock latches located on rear of the main body.
5. Push the Retention Rod Handle to the forward most position
6. Slide and lock the Locking Bolt in the left most position
7. Pull the Retention Rod Handle to lower the filter
8. Remove filter by gently sliding out of enclosure so as to minimize agitating dirt and dust, and place it in a bag/container.
9. Clean filter:
• Use clean/dry air only at a pressure not more than 80 psi at 12” from media.
• Direct the compressed air through the filter from the clean side, running the nozzle up and down the filter pleats.
• Do not bring either nozzle in contact with the filter media as damage is likely to occur.
10. Inspect filter for any damage and replace if necessary.
11. Clean cabinet interior of dirt and debris.
12. Reassemble:
• Pull Retention Rod Handle to lowest position to allow space for filter.
• Slide in clean filter.
