General Operation
this downdraft table is designed to connect to
the grizzly g0648 Welding Fume Collector or a
similar machine. it is not designed to be a sub-
stitute for a respirator or fresh-air type respirator.
Make sure that you are familiar with the materials
to be welded and know what types of fumes will
be created. additionally, many metals have coat-
ings that produce poisonous fumes when heated.
Make sure to strip off coatings at least four inches
away from the area of heat application before
welding or cutting.
Between welding jobs, periodically clean out the
slag catch and clean the stainless steel screen. if
the type of welding changes drastically or if paint,
rubberized undercoating, or other coatings cause
excessive smoke, you may have to clean the
screen more often in order to maintain a satisfac-
tory suction.
always follow good welding practices and remove
coatings that may smoke and possibly contami-
nate the weld. this downdraft table does not save
you from the task of proper workpiece prepara-
tion.
