Safety Precautions
The manufacturer does not accept any liability for
damage to the product caused by a failure to follow the
safety and other instructions in this manual, modifi-
cations made to equipment or by negligence during
installation, use, maintenance and repair of the product
mentioned in the safety pages of this document and any
corresponding accessories.
Specific working conditions or used accessories may
require additional safety instructions. Immediately
contact your supplier if you detect a potential hazard
when using the product.
The operation of welding fume control
equipment is affected by various factors
including proper use and positioning of the
equipment, maintenance of the equipment
and the specific welding procedure and application
involved. Worker exposure level should be checked upon
installation and periodically thereafter to be certain it is
within applicable federal, state and/or local regulations
and guidelines (i.e. OSHA PEL and ACGIH TLV limits in
the U.S.).
If the product is used in combination with products or machines
mentioned in the introduction of this manual, the safety
instructions in the documentation of these products also apply.
•
Routinely inspect the product and check it for damage.
•
Use common sense. Stay alert and keep your attention to your
work. Do not use the product when you are under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medicine.
•
Make sure the facility is always sufficiently ventilated; this
applies especially to confined spaces.
•
Never install the product in front of entrances and exits which
must be used by emergency services.
•
Make sure that the facility where the equipment is installed
contains sufficient approved fire extinguishers.
•
The Statiflex 800 functions only if the welding fumes are
blown directly through an extraction fan into the filter.
Therefore, never connect the Statiflex 800 to the suction
opening of the extraction fan.
•
Air containing gases and particles such as OSHA defined
hazardous chemicals, if recirculated, should be tested in
accordance with applicable local, state and federal
regulations and guidelines, such as OSHA PEL.
FUMES and GASES can
be dangerous.
Welding may produce fumes and gases
hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these
fumes and gases.
When welding, keep your head out of the fume. Use
enough ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep
fumes and gases away from the breathing zone. When
welding with electrodes which require special ventilation
such as stainless or hard facing (see instructions on
container or MSDS) or on lead or cadmium plated steel
and other metals or coatings which produce highly toxic
fumes, keep exposure as low as possible and within
applicable OSHA PEL and ACgIH TLv limits using local
exhaust or mechanical ventilation. In confined spaces or
in some circumstances, outdoors, a respirator may be
required. Additional precautions are also required when
welding on galvanized steel.
The operation of welding fume control equipment is
affected by various factors including proper use and
positioning of the equipment, maintenance of the
equipment and the specific welding procedure and
application involved. Worker exposure level should be
checked upon installation and periodically thereafter to
be certain it is within applicable OSHA PEL and ACGIH
TLV.
Fire hazard!
Never use the product for filtering
inflammable, glowing or burning particles,
solids or liquids. Never use the product for
filtering of reactive fumes (such as
hydrochloric acid) or sharp particles.
•
Avoid using the product for filtering dust
particles which are released when welding
surfaces treated with primer.
•
Never use the product without prefilter and LongLife
filter cartridge.
