Recommendations
Safety and accident prevention instructions
The machine is a portable suction cleaner with a fitting for the connection of a pneumatic tool,
which uses compressed air at a pressure of 7 bar to vacuum sanding dust.
The suction cleaner must be connected to a compressed air supply with a pressure 7 bar using a tube
with an internal diameter of 10 mm. During use, the vacuum cleaner must always be connected to
the grounding system by means of the pliers supplied.
RUPES spa does not accept liability for any damage, direct or indirect, caused by the failure to
comply with the instructions provided in these manuals.
The machine must only be used by trained and qualified personnel.
The machine must be located in a dry and adequately ventilated area where air is changed at least
once an hour with 50% of the total fresh air without the aid of special ventilation systems. The
temperature of the work area must be between 10°C and 40°C with humidity between 50% and
90%.
WARNINGS
-
Do not vacuum sanding dust from surfaces treated with paints that have not completed
the catalization cycle
-
Do not vacuum aggressive liquids or substances (i.e. acids , bases, solvents, etc.)
-
Do not vacuum flammable or explosive liquids (i.e. petrol, thinners, etc.)
-
Do not vacuum potentially explosive gases or vapors
-
In the event of leakage of dust from the unit, immediately close the compressed air
supply of the vacuum cleaner
-
In the event of a fire or explosion, follow internal safety instructions and procedures (as
indicated in the ATEX 99/9/EC Directive)
-
Always place appropriate warnings signaling the presence of a potentially hazardous
atmosphere next to the area in which the machine is being used (as indicated by
Directive 99/9/EC)
The machine complies with the ATEX 94/9/EC Directive and harmonized standards listed in the
declaration of conformity as equipment in category II 3 D.
The machine bears the safety markings specified below.
On the dust bin
The machine contains dust deposits and potentially explosive atmospheres.
The operator must not place near or inside the machine, especially in the dust bin, possible sources
of ignition such as: flames, gas or hot surfaces, electric parts, electrostatic discharges, mechanical
sparks.
