To ensure the continued performance of your Filtermist system, there is an integrated log book that the operator
must complete. The forms included in this book should be used to record these checks, together with comments
on any corrective action. Also a section for regular maintenance and unplanned repair work should be completed
and is included in the log book. Any failure that is found should be reported to the person responsible for the
maintenance of the system. The log book can be found from page 21 in this manual. It is important that these
records are kept up to date to provide evidence that the system is following the HSE guidelines and that it is
operating correctly.

Installation
A Filtermist unit is normally sited either on (e.g. Fig.1) or close to the application, mounted on a stand (e.g.
Fig.2) and therefore installation is straightforward requiring minimal ductwork. Filtermist units are light,
require minimal floor space and can be installed in a wide variety of ways. A comprehensive library of existing
installations is held by the company and can be used to demonstrate typical installations on most machine tools
and applications.
Mounting the Unit
The following are typical installations and cover the majority of applications. For more advice on these or other
installation methods please contact your local supplier.
Always try to position the extraction point as far as practically possible from the cutting area of the machine and
so that mist is drawn away from the operator’s working area. On installation always take into account access and
space requirements for service and maintenance of the unit, including consideration of local health and safety
regulations. For ease of access, where possible, the unit should be positioned between 1040mm and 1370mm
above the working level (providing the efficiency of the unit isn’t compromised).
