Machine Operation
•
Both the top and bottom heating elements can be programmed to reach high temperatures. Use cau-
tion near heated surfaces including the nozzle and the bottom heater.
•
Hot surfaces are noted with labels but exposure to hazards is inevitable due to the nature of the
process. Do not touch hot surfaces. Proper training is essential. Contact Air-Vac for additional train-
ing sessions if required.
•
Always use the gas nozzle handling tool when installing or removing nozzles.
•
The nozzle and vision systems are powered by motors and are programmed to move during opera-
tion. Use caution near these two moving areas.
•
Observe the legal and specific national regulations concerning accident prevention and protection of
the environment.
•
Observe the general safety regulations concerning working with solder and flux. Fume extraction
should be seriously considered.
Maintenance (see Maintenance Chapter of Manual)
1.4.2 Additional Safety Precautions
•
Upper heater housing protects the upper heating element - marked with hot label.
•
Bottom heater plate surface can be hot – protective covers are marked with hot label.
•
Flux vapors can be hazardous to operators - fume extraction should be employed.
•
Flux liquid is flammable and hazardous to operator health and safety.
•
Nozzle and vision motion can cause injury to the operator.
•
Sound levels are below 70 dba levels except for use of the nozzle cold air bypass at 100% flow (75
dba) and the optional bottom spot heater at high flow (78 dba). These are intermittent items that can
be a small percentage of actual on time. If these are used they should be evaluated against local
regulation to determine if any additional noise protection is required.
