6.3 Controlling the volume flow
A lever on the extraction hood can be used to manually control the volume flow. When the lever is vertical,
the valve is open and the extracted welding fumes flow unimpeded. If the lever is horizontal, the valve closes
and limits the volume flow of the extracted welding fumes.
