2 Safety
This chapter describes the essential safety requirements and warns of residual hazards that should
be kept in mind to operate the product safely. Non-observance of the safety instructions may result
in risks to the life and health of personnel as well as cause environmental or material damage.
2.1

Intended Use

This device is intended exclusively for industrial use.
The device is used to extract fumes and dust that result from welding processes.
The device is used to extract fumes and dust that result from welding processes. The device fulfills
the requirements of welding fume separation class W3 and can therefore be used in recirculating
mode for extraction during the welding of steels with an alloy content of nickel and chrome of less
than and more than 30 %.
The device may be used only for the purpose and in the manner described in this documentation.
Any other use is considered non-intended. Unauthorized conversion work or modifications to
increase performance or change function are not permissible.
► Only operate the device with original ABICOR BINZEL spare parts.
► Do not exceed the maximum load data given in the documents. Excess loads will lead to
irreparable damage.
► Do not make constructional changes to the device.
► Do not use or store the device in wet conditions.
► Only use the device outdoors when sufficiently protected against the influences of the weather.
► Check the extraction hoses for damage and soiling at regular intervals, but at least once every
week.
2.2

Responsibilities of the Operator

► Keep non-suitably qualified people out of the work area.
► Ensure that only suitably qualified personnel perform work on the device or system.
Suitably qualified personnel are:
– those who are familiar with the basic regulations on occupational safety and accident
prevention;
– those who have been instructed on how to handle the device;
– those who have read and understood all related documentation;
– those who have been trained accordingly;
– those who are able to recognize possible risks because of their special training, knowledge,
and experience.
2.2.1

Country-specific obligations of the operator

► Note that in some countries the volume flow routed back into the workspace may not exceed
50 % of the supply air to the installation room. With free room ventilation, a supply air flow of
one times the room volume per hour can be assumed. This means an air exchange rate of one
per hour (supply air flow [m³/h] = room volume [m³] × air exchange rate [1/h]).
In some countries returning filtered air to the installation room is prohibited on account of residual
health risks.
For example, when operating the device in France, the cleaned air must be expelled from the
building.
► Observe the local health & safety requirements.
