WARNING
Fume extraction systems
are not to be used as substitutes for personal protective
devices
such as respirators for removing substances such as carbon monoxide,
methane, ethylene, acetylene and other potentially hazardous or noxious gases.
Failure to use such personal protective devices may result in serious injury or death.
If in doubt, consult your industrial hygienist or American Hakko Products.
For safe and effective performance, American Hakko recommends these guidelines be followed:
1. HEPA filters - hazardous particulate matter
The 999-137 filter used in the Hakko HJ3100 is certified to be a 'hospital grade' HEPA-type filter
2
. HEPA (High
Efficiency Particulate Air) filters will become loaded with particulates during normal operation. It must be replaced at
regular intervals to ensure proper operation. The level of use, and the amount and composition of the contaminates
peculiar to a given application, will dictate the frequency of replacement. As the filter becomes loaded, air-flow through
the system will be reduced; this will eventually become noticeable to operators at the several stations being serviced.
The exhaust air from the Hakko HJ3100 and the ambient air in the workplace should be monitored, using appropriate and
adequate measuring and detection devices, to guarantee compliance with applicable OSHA and NIOSH regulations.
2
Hospital grade filters have efficiencies greater than 95% per MIL-STD-282.
