4.5 Inspection
Each air filter is carefully inspected at the factory. The inspection certificate is delivered together with the
present manual.
5. Use
Danger!
Do not start the air filter if the synthetic rear filter is missing.
5.1. Starting up and stopping
On request a running/stop switch is available to be mounted on the machine tool control panel. This switch may be used to
exclude the air filter.
However, it is advisable to start and stop the air filter only at the beginning and ending of each work shift.
5.1.1. Emergency stop
For the emergency stop procedures consult the instructions’ manual of the machine tool on which the air filter is mounted.
5.2. Advice for correct use
It is advisable to avoid, as far as possible, repeated starts and stops of the Darwin, as it may result in:
•
Short motor life
•
Anomalous stress on the rotor (centrifugal or turbine).
Introduction into the working atmosphere of the pollutant contained in the air, which is sucked but not purified.
Note
It is suggested to stop the Darwin only during the halts between work-shifts, with the machine tool at a standstill.
6. Maintenance
