Use
WARNING!
Fire hazard! Do
not
use the product for:
-
polishing applications in combination with
grinding, welding or any other application that
generate sparks
(fibers from polishing or abrasive flap disks
are highly flammable and pose a high risk of filter fires when
exposed to sparks)
-
arc-air gouging
-
extracting and/or filtering flammable, glowing or
burning particles or solids or liquids
-
extracting and/or filtering of aggressive fumes
(such as hydrochloric acid) or sharp particles
-
extracting and/or filtering dust particles which are
released when welding surfaces treated with
primer
-
sucking cigarettes, cigars, oiled tissues, and other
burning particles, objects, and acids
WARNING!
Explosion hazard! Do
not
use the product for
explosion-hazardous applications, e.g.:
-
aluminium laser cutting
-
grinding aluminium and magnesium
-
explosive environments or explosive substances/
gases
WARNING!
Do
not
use the product for:
-
extraction of hot gases (more than 70°C/158°F
continuously)
-

-
Inspect the product and check it for damage. Verify the
functioning of the safety features.
-
During use, always use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

-
Do not leave any tools or other objects in or on the unit.
-
The welding current return circuit between the workpiece
and the welding machine has a low resistance. Thus avoid
connection between the workpiece and the MDB-Compact, so
that there is no possibility of the welding current flowing
back to the welding machine via the protective earth
conductor of the MDB-Compact.
