operating instructions:
•
Read all of these operating instructions
prior to commissioning the machine. Pay
particular attention to the safety
instructions.
•
These operating instructions are intended
for people with basic technical knowledge
in handling machines such as the one
described here. If you have had no
experience with machines of this kind, you
should initially work under the supervision
of people with previous experience.
•
Keep safe all documents supplied with this
machine so that you can refer to them if
required. Keep proof of purchase for
possible warranty cases.
•
Should you ever lend or sell the machine,
make sure that any machine documents
are passed on with it.
•
The manufacturer bears no liability for
damage caused by non-compliance with
these operating instructions.
The dust extractor has been tested at the
testing premises of the "HOLZ"
Fachausschuss (Technical Committee
responsible for testing wood dust),
Kalscheurer Weg 12, 50969 Köln, Germany,
in accordance with testing principles GS-HO-
07 from the chief association of the
Gewerbliche Berfusgenossenschaft e.V.
(Registered German Industrial Employers’
Liability Insurance Association), Alte
Heerstraße 111, 53757 St. Augustin,
Germany, technical "HOLZ" Fachausschuss.
It is therefore suitable for separating wood
dust, where the residual dust content level 2
"H2" of 0.2 mg/m
3
is reliably observed.
The dust extractor bears the mark of
conformity with the corresponding
supplement:
The result of the dust test is based on the
extraction of dry wood dust and dry wood
chips with a wood moisture content < 30%.
1. Use as a dust extractor
The machine can be used to extract wood
dust and chips from individual wood-
processing machines (also oak and beech
wood dust). The diameter of the extractor
connection piece on the machine can be up to
100 mm. Reduction pieces may be required
and are supplied by Elektra Beckum as
accessories. Wood-processing machines
whose extractor connection piece diameter is
greater than 100 mm must not be connected
to the dust extractor.
2. Use as a vacuum cleaner
The machine can be used for vacuuming
deposited wood dust and chips (also oak and
beech wood dust) in combination with the
cleaning nozzle, order no.

.
When connecting an extractor hose, make
sure that only electroconductive and flame-
retardant hoses are used and that the electric
connection between the hose and connector
is correct.
Only original Elektra Beckum accessories and
spare parts should be used.
The user bears sole responsibility for damage
caused by improper use. Generally accepted
accident-prevention regulations and safety
instructions should be observed.
Before using the dust extractor, read the
operating instructions carefully all the way
through. Keep safe all documents
accompanying the dust extractor.
For your own safety and for
protection of your dust extractor,
read all parts of the text marked
with this symbol!
•
Only original Elektra Beckum accessories
and spare parts should be used.
•
The dust extractor should only be
operated by people who have been
informed on how to use it and who have
been given express permission to do so.
•
The machine should only be used for dry
cleaning tasks and not outdoors.
•
Make sure that the power cable is not
damaged by being driving over, crushed,
dragged or similar.
•
The power cable must be inspected
regularly for signs of damage or aging.
•
The machine should not be used if the
power cable is not in perfect condition.
•
When replacing the power cable, only use
a rubber hose line, type HO7RN 3 x 1.5
mm
2
.
•
Use a protective contact connector when
replacing the mains plug.
•
The power cable and mains plug should
only be replaced by personnel qualified to
perform this task.
•
If the mains or machine power cable
needs to be replaced, the type specified
by the manufacturer must be used, without
exception.
•
The plug should only be plugged in once
the dust extractor has been successfully
set up at the location of use; connection to
alternating current protective contact
mains wall socket with inert upstream 10 A
fuse.
•
Disconnect the mains plug after use, prior
to moving the dust extractor to another
location and before cleaning, maintaining,
replacing or removing movable parts.
•
Only use original Elektra Beckum
accessories when operating the dust
extractor, .
•
When extracting oak and beech wood
dust, the filtered air should only be
returned to the place that it was extracted
from. This is ensured if the dust extractor
is set up beside the machining equipment.
•
When extracting oak and beech wood
dust, the volumetric flow returned by the
dust extractor should amount to a
maximum of 50% of the intake air. In the
case of free room ventilation, an intake air
flow of 1 x room volume (m
3
/h) should be
adopted (air change quantity LW = 1/h).
•
Maintain sufficient air supply.
•
Type 1 dust-explosion protected dust
extractors are technically suitable for
extracting combustible dust (moist and
dry) of dust-explosion classes St 1 and St
2 (Kst value < 300 bar x m x s
-1
) in zone
