2.0 Installation
The FLEXI arm is delivered together and consists of
1 carrying arm, 1 funnel and 1 set of hose with straps.
Specication of any Changes can be found in order con-
rmation / invoice.
Before mounting the Arm, please make sure that the op-
timum working area is selected. Is there space enough
for the satisfactory utilisation of the Arm? What about
connection possibilities for piping and automatics?
The optimum installation height is then to be selected in
accordance
with the table below:

Mounting an Extension arm (0,5 or. 1,5 m)
First attach the extraction arm to the wall, such as a con-
crete wall, similar to the wall bracket in section. 2.0.
Then attach the wall bracket to the extraction arm.
Mounting of the damper
Is factory-mounted. Contact your dealer.
Montering af lys
The mounting of light and net should have been taken
care of by the factory. The connection is made by xten-
ding the power cord, which is attached inside the Arm
and it is to be xed on the Arm. Next, the power cord is
connected to the transformer (24V → 220V) which again
is connected to the mains.
Light specications:
Type: Halogen
Power: 50 W 60°
Voltage: 12 V
Recommended trafo-power: 70 W

Less optimum welding situation:
Always check that the correct volume of air is extracted
by the suction head/funnel.
The Arm does not work if …
• unauthorised parts have been mounted on the Arm
(e.g. power point on the funnel)
• The Arm is pushed towards the required position.
Instead, please move the Arm to the required posi-
tion and wait a moment until the friction discs have
locked the Arm.
• Something has been hung on the extension arm. It
is only meant to be capable of carrying the weight
of the actual Arm.
4.0 Maintenance
Periodic maintenance
• When it becomes di󰀩cult to position the Arm, e.g.
if it will not remain in the required position, please
adjust the movable joints (please refer to item 2).
• Please check the condition of the hose, the spring
as well as the friction discs, and exchange them if
necessary. Please contact your dealer in respect of
spare parts.
At least once annually, the whole point extraction plant
should be overhauled by an authorised serviceman.

ed electrician.
3.0 User instruction – application
Ved normalt brug skal armen kunne bære sig selv i den
ønskede position indenfor arbejdsområdet. Armens kon-
sol giver armen et 360° drejbart arbejdsområde.
Slangen kan beskadiges og gøres utæt ved udvendig
belastning, fra f.eks. en skruetrækker. Dette bør derfor
undgås, for at sikre slangen længst mulig levetid.
Ved korrekt dimensioneret anlæg, bør armens tragt pla-
ceres 300-500 mm lodret over emnet hvorfra der skal
udsuges. Dvs. lige over forureningskilden. Derved fan-
ges op til 99% af de forurenede partikler.
