Possible Misuse; Residual Hazards; Product Description - Metabo SPA 2002 Serie Manual Original

The system should only be operated by people
who have been informed on how to use it and who
have been given express permission to do so.
Only use original Metabo accessories when
operating the system.
The fan is clad. This cladding can only be removed
with a tool. If this cladding is removed, there is a
residual risk that there could be a hazard from
contact with moving parts.
Using disposable dust bags with a sealable
opening ensures dust-free disposal of collected
material. However, when changing a dust bag the
risk of inhaling dust cannot be excluded.
Compliance with the instructions (point 8.5.4) for
the change/disposal minimises these dangers.
The system is suitable for extracting dry wood dust
and dry wood chips. This also applies to oak and
beech wood dust. Initially, this test applies to wood
dust, for the extraction of other metallic, ceramic
and organic chips of dust explosion class St 1 only
after consultation with the manufacturer. If the
system is exposed to extreme amounts of dust, the
manufacturer must be consulted beforehand.
When extracting a "dust-tested" wood processing
machine with a dust source, the use of the system
ensures that the value of 2 mg/m
and reliably maintained at this machine
workstation, provided that no disturbing external
influences are present. The metrological
monitoring of such a workplace is then no longer
necessary!
In order to maintain these advantages for a long
time, it is essential that you observe these
operating instructions. Read these instructions
already before the first use. Should you have any
questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at
any time.
If necessary, please consult the enclosed
documents for any spare parts needed.
The system must be included in the operator's
explosion and fire protection documents.
4.2 Installation of chip extraction system
(location)
The packaging film and other packaging material
must be removed. The system should be set up as
close as possible to the machine to extracted. It
should be set up on a level surface. The lockable
swivel castor must be locked at the operation site.
4.3 Fire and explosion protection
4.3.1 Machines generating sparks
The system is not suitable for extracting wood
processing machines where active ignition sparks
cannot be ruled out without a corresponding
additional safety installation. The extraction of
wood processing machines which are expected to
produce active ignition sparks and glowing embers
(e.g. multi-blade circular saws, wide tube belt
sanders in chipboard factories and door factories)
is only permitted with an additional safety device
(spark extinguishing system) if air recirculation is
present. No ignition sources caused by the
process or the environment (e.g. glowing parts)
may be sucked into the system.
4.3.2 Suction pipe
The inlet nozzle on the unit has an outside
diameter of 100 mm
The suction hose of the corresponding nominal
values must be fastened to the nozzle with the
clamp.
When connecting an extractor hose, make sure
that only electroconductive hoses are used and
that the electric connection between the hose and
connector is correct.
If a so-called "spiral hose" is used, the metal spiral
must be stripped about 5 cm. Remove the
remaining hose material in the stripped area and
bend the bare metal wire inwards so that perfect
electrical conductivity to the suction nozzle is
established once the hose is connected. Then
fasten the hose with a worm drive clamp or band
clamp.
Hoses made from plastic must be flame-retardant.
Only use hoses with corresponding nominal
diameters.
Detailed requirements for piping systems
- only use steel pipes and flame-retardant flexible
hoses with metal spirals for electrostatic earthing
- ensure continuous earthing
- use automatic sliders (if required)
- avoid air velocities below the minimum transport
air velocity
4.3.3 Fan
Due to the design of the fan, the system
corresponds to type B 1 (design without ignition
source) if no spark-generating machines are
extracted or if a spark extinguishing system is
installed.
4.3.4 Feed lines
Fixed pipelines in fire risk areas must be made of
non-combustible materials. Connection lines
between machine and collection or main line must
consist at leas of flame-retardant materials.
The maximum hose length (so-called flexible
hoses) must not exceed 0.5 m if this can be
avoided by suitable pipe elements.
4.3.5 Earthing
Components, in particular metal pipelines and
flexible hoses, must be continuously electrically
earthed from the processing machine to the fan/
filter in order to dissipate static electricity.
4.4

Possible misuse

The chip extraction system may only be operated
3
is permanently
within the technical data specified by Metabo. Any
use other than or going beyond that described
under point "2. Intended use" is not considered as
intended. The manufacturer is not liable for any
resulting damage.
Possible misuse is e.g.:
Handling of media with impermissible high or low
temperatures, aggressive or highly dusty media.
- See point 4, page 3 (for devices built without
ignition sources applies)
4.5

Residual hazards

Hazards can emanate from the system if it is not
operated by trained personnel and/or used
improperly or not as intended.
Residual hazards are potential, not evident
hazards, e.g.:
- Injuries resulting from non-compliance with
safety instructions, standards, directives or
regulations,
- injuries caused by uncoordinated work,
- hazard due to working at the electrical system,
cables and connections,
- etc.
4.6 Storage, transport
Warning! Caution!
- Store the individual functional parts in their
original packagings dry and protected from the
elements.
- Cover open pallets with tarpaulins and protect
the functional parts from dirt (e.g. chips, stones,
water etc.).
- For transport under difficult conditions (e.g. on
open vehicles, with exceptional vibration stress,
during transport by sea or to subtropical
countries), additional packaging must be used to
ward off these special influences.
- During storage avoid constant and above all
abrupt temperature changes. This is particularly
harmful if moisture can condense.
- For storage periods of more than 3 months,
check the smooth running of the rotating parts
(bearings, fans, etc.) before assembly.
- Please also observe the instructions in the
respective chapters.
- The system can be transported to the installation
site with a forklift truck (see fig. G). After
assembly it can be moved by hand.
- During transport, the individual components
must be transported vertically and secured
against tipping over.
- Ensure sufficient visibility during transport (if
needed assign personnel to the transport).
- No persons may be in the transport area.
- Use suitable fork lengths to avoid damage to the
bottom of the unit. Always pay attention to any
protrusions (e.g. sound absorbers).
- During transport the relevant regulations on
occupational safety and environmental
protection must be observed.
- Ensure that suitable lifting gear is used.
- The system may be transported only be trained
and instructed personnel and under the "safety"
aspect.
- When using transport equipment requiring a
driving license, it must be ensured that the
personnel is in possession of a valid driving
license.
- The tilting limit is at approx. 12 ° (see fig. F). Pay
attention to the centre of gravity
4.7 Obligations of the operator
The operator of the system must regularly train his
personnel on the following topics:
- Observation and use of the operating and
assembly instructions as well as the legal
provisions.
- Intended operation of the system.
- If necessary, follow the instructions of site
security.
- Behaviour in case of emergency

5. Product description

The exact type designation, the filter category use,
the filter area and the motor data can be found on
the nameplate.
The working range lies between the nominal and
minimum volume flow.
The minimum volume flow of the system must be
selected in such a way that a minimum air speed of
20 m/s is guaranteed in the suction nozzles of all
woodworking machines to be operated
simultaneously, unless otherwise provided by the
manufacturer of the processing machine.
Compact chip extraction systems in system design
for the collection of wood dust and wood chips,
with built-in filter chamber and built-in fan and
manual cleaning.
Housing made of single-walled galvanised sheet
steel with inspection flap or door. Control box to
control the entire system according to VDE 0100,
0113, 0165. The monitoring of a prescribed
minimum volume flow (e.g. 18 m/s or 20 m/s) is
carried out in the chip extraction system by
measuring the filter differential pressure by means
of a differential bellows.
The smooth inner housing construction ensures
easy and quick cleaning of the devices.
