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]).
