ELECTRICAL SAFETY
GENERAL SAFETY
The plug fitted to this equipment is a safety push
and twist type, this type of connection must be
used in hazardous areas.
However, the push and twist
plug will fit a standard 16A
240V socket. If in doubt contact
your local HSS Safe and Sure
Depot.
Extension leads, fitted with the
correct plug and socket, should
be fully unwound and loosely
coiled, away from the work area.
Never run them through water, over sharp edges
or where they could trip someone.
Keep the equipment dry. Using electrical equipment
in very damp or wet conditions can be dangerous.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, always
use a suitable RCD
(Residual Current-Operated
Device)
available from your local HSS Safe and Sure
Depot.
If the equipment fails, or if its plug or lead gets
damaged, return it. Never try to repair it yourself.
Never carry or pull the equipment by its power
supply cable.
Ensure the air mover and power socket are switched
OFF before plugging into the power supply.
This equipment must only be used with the correct
‘anti-static’ ducting, the use of any other ducting
will void the intrinsic safety certification.
Where required, the unit should be grounded by
use of the earth connection
(see illustration).
Closely inspect the ducting for signs of damage. If
the wall of the ducting has been punctured, the
unit must not be used. Contact your local HSS Safe
and Sure Depot for a replacement.
Connect the ducting as required, i.e. either a
section to the inlet or to the outlet dependant on
where the fumes are being moved from
(see
diagram).
The ducting is supplied in 5 metre lengths,
where a
greater length of ducting is required,
you may use
additional air movers in tandem.
When setting the unit up, make sure it is pointing
in the correct direction
(see air flow direction arrow on
the side of the air mover).
The ducting is secured to the air mover by a simple
strap and clip.
When fitting,
ensure that the ducting
completely covers the opening.
GETTING STARTED
Ensure that the fumes are only discharged into the
open air and away from any people. DO NOT
discharge into another room.
To switch the unit ON simply raise the ON / OFF
loop switch, to switch OFF, lower the switch.
Never push the equipment beyond its design
limits. If it is unsuitable for the task you are
performing DO NOT USE OR RELY ON IT. Contact
your local HSS Safe and Sure Depot for advice.
Handle the equipment with care. Avoid dropping
it, knocking it, or otherwise exposing it to damage.
Never expose the equipment to excessive
moisture, dust or dangerous/corrosive chemicals.
