2.3 Specific safety instructions
Danger of explosion due to use of welding spray
During operation, please observe the following:
• Observe the hazard warnings and safety instructions in the Safety Data Sheet for the welding spray to
• Switch off the fume extraction system before spraying the workpieces with welding spray.
• Do not allow the spray mist to be drawn into the fume extraction system by suction. In a hot system, this
Health risk caused by harmful dust
Before and during operation, please observe the following:
• The fume extraction system contains harmful dust as of the first use.
• The system may only be emptied and maintained by authorized personnel (in Germany see
• The fume extraction system must not be operated without the filter system.
• The fume extraction system must not be operated with an open dust collecting drawer.
• During operation and fume extraction, the complete fume extraction system must be kept closed.
NOTICE
• Make sure that the extraction hose is not damaged by being driven over, crushed, torn or similar.
• The fume extraction system must only be used for extracting and separating welding fume.
• Freely accessible intake joints and compressed air connections must be protected using a seal plug.
• Do not allow liquids, aggressive gases, inflammable media or glowing particles (smouldering nests or
similar) to be drawn in.
• Do not use or store the fume extraction system outdoors under humid conditions.
• It is not allowed to use the fume extraction system when welding oil-contaminated metals. Risk of fire!
• The 115 V/60 Hz or 230 V/50 Hz mains plug must be protected by a 16 A fuse.
• If it is necessary to replace the mains or device connecting cable, only versions indicated by the
manufacturer must be used.
• Make sure that the extraction hose is not damaged by being driven over, crushed, torn or similar.
• When using the welding fume filter, the volume flow that is led back to the work area must not exceed
50% of the supply air of the installation area. In case of free room ventilation, the supply air flow
corresponds to one room volume per hour. This corresponds to an air change number of 1/h.
Supply air flow [m³/h] = room volume [m³]
Example: When using an ABICOR BINZEL welding fume filter with a rated volume flow of 200 m³/h,
the same quantity of fresh air must be supplied. With natural ventilation, this is the case if the work area
volume is at least 2000 m³ (e.g.: surface of 58 m² multiplied by room height of 3.5 m).
