Filter Gauge
Gauge only indicates air pressure drop
across the filter. Replace filter when read-
ing is over 4 in. w.c. (10 x 100 Pa) or when-
ever air flow is too low to extract fumes. The
materials,
gauge should read between 0.1 and 0.5 in.
w.c. (0.25 and 1.25 x 100 Pa) at start-up
(with a clean filter).

Hood
Position the hood to minimize the effects of
cross drafts from outside air sources or
from other operations. Tilt the hood at a 45°
angle and position it as close to the welding
arc as possible but no further than 14 in. (36
cm) from the arc.
