4.4 Principles of Operation
This product is designed to capture and clean smoke and dust from medium & heavy duty welding, soldering, and
grinding applications. When operating, air is drawn in to the nozzle, passes through the 6” diameter hose, then
through the air cleaner’s filtration system, and is exhausted through the rear discharge.
This product consists of four basic components:
1. Capture Arm(s)
2. A blower
3. Cartridge Filter
4. Motor & Electrical assemblies
• The operator is to positon the machine within operating distance, and activate the caster wheel brakes.
• The operator can then position the capture arm close enough to the worksite to capture all dust and fumes that
will be produced.
• Ensuring that all safety procedures have been followed, the operator can turn on the machine and begin working.
• When not in use, the machine should be turned off.
4.5 Failure Event

differences, or the machine begins to act abnormally, the operator should immediately shut off the machine. This is
considered a machine failure and the following steps should be taken:
1. Turn the power switch to the OFF position.
3. Seek medical attention if an accident occurred.
4. Follow the guidelines in SECTION 5: Maintenance and Troubleshooting .
Remember, under no circumstance should the machine be turned back on while performing maintenance.
