1.4 Allowed environmental conditions
To ensure the correct operation of the separator, this must be protected against any inclement weather
conditions (rain, hail, snow, fog, etc.). Only use in temperatures of 41°F to 113°F with a relative humidity
less than 70%. The work environment must be tidy, well-lit, and devoid of explosive atmosphere.
Attention!
Workers exposed to sound pressure levels above 85 dB (A) must be protected by special individual
protection devices.
It is therefore necessary, if such working conditions exist, to provide workers with such approved
individual protection devices and to inform them of the risks relating to noise exposure.
1.5 Storage
Remove the filter and clean it, empty the container and store the separator in a place protected against
atmospheric agents with a temperature between 32°F and 104°F. Cover with a nylon sheet to prevent
accumulation of dust.
1.6 Scrapping
In case of scrapping, all the component parts of the separator will have to be disposed of through adequate
disposal channels in accordance with applicable legislation.
Before scrapping, all plastic and rubber parts will have to be separated from the electrical material. Parts
made of plastic, aluminium and steel only may be recycled if collected by special centers.

2.1 Safety details
The person in charge of safety shall be responsible for informing workers about the risks associated with
separator and dust collector operation.
The obligation also exists of training workers so they are able to protect themselves and others.
Failure to observe basic safety regulations and warnings could cause accidents during operation,
maintenance, and repair. Accidents can often be avoided by recognizing potentially dangerous situations
before these occur. Operators should be aware of potential hazards and be trained and skilled enough to
operate the machine. They should also have the tools necessary to perform these duties properly.
NFE shall under no circumstances be deemed liable for accidents or damage caused by use of the dust
collector or the separator by personnel not properly trained or who use it in an improper manner, as well as
by even partial failure to comply with the safety regulations and intervention procedures indicated in this
manual.
The safety warnings and warning notices are indicated in this manual and on the product.
Unless these hazard messages are heeded, the operator could become involved in accidents with serious
consequences for him/herself and for other people.
The safety messages are highlighted by the following symbols:
Attention!
Unless these messages are heeded, operator injuries could occur.
Warning!
Unless these messages are heeded, dust collector damage could occur.
NFE cannot foresee all possible circumstances capable of representing a potential hazard. The warnings in
this manual and on the products should not therefore be deemed exhaustive. In the event of tools,
procedures, work or machining methods being used that are not explicitly recommended by NFE, make sure
no hazards exist for operators and others.
Only ever use original NFE spare parts.
NFE declines all liability in the event of non-original spare parts being used.

Installation

3.1 Handling
The machine is supplied in a strong cardboard box secured with straps.
Transport the package using a fork-lift truck of adequate lifting capacity and make sure it is stable and that
weight is properly distributed on the forks.
Before starting to move, make sure the transit area is free and that there are no moving objects on the
packaging.
During movement, keep the load low for greater stability and safety.
When starting up the machine, move it by means of the wheels supplied.
The appliance must never be moved using fork-lift trucks or other equipment that lifts it off the floor.
If for any reason the need arises to lift and transport the dust collector and separator, this operation must
be performed under the responsibility of the user. The user is therefore invited to secure the load as he
best thinks fit to ensure the operation is performed in total safety.
