xFUME™ ADVANCED HP 230V – CSA
The extraction of substances and materials which are combustible, aggressive, chemical or contain
oil vapors as well as aluminum or magnesium dusts can lead to fire and explosion due to chemical
reactions. Serious injuries and irreparable damage to the unit can be the result.
► Only ever use the unit as intended.
► Ensure that all components have been properly installed on the fume extraction torch.
► Ensure that the fume extraction torch is connected to the fume extraction system prior to use.
► Use the fume extraction torch only with a fume extraction system that has been approved for
use in the respective country.
► Observe the local occupational health and safety regulations and guidelines.
► Check the extraction hoses at regular intervals, at least once a week, for damage and
contamination.
► Note that the applied vacuum depends on the geographic altitude of the operation site.
► Observe the warning signals and indicators on the fume extraction system. Warning signals
and indicators can imply a saturated filter or a problem with/damage to the fume extraction
torch.
► Replace the extraction-specific wear parts at regular intervals. The replacement interval
required depends on the application conditions.
► Opening the air regulator is only intended to briefly reduce the volume flow at the suction
nozzle. Close the air regulator immediately afterwards. The air regulator must be closed to
ensure efficient capture of fumes.
► Observe the instructions on the adapter label for connecting components.
► When welding under particularly oily ambient conditions, creepage distances consisting of
metal oxides from the welding fume can form locally on fume-carrying surfaces, which are
potentially electrically conductive. Therefore, clean the welding fume-carrying surfaces on the
fume extraction torch regularly.
► Note that when additional exhaust air hoses or exhaust air hoses from other manufacturers are
used, there can be a loss of pressure in the fume extraction torch. The components connected
must be suitable for the device and guarantee the required minimum volume flow. Check the
components regularly or a proper fit, leaks and blockages due to dust deposits.
► Heed the requirements of DIN EN ISO 21904 as far as the minimum volume flow is
concerned. If the extraction volume flow is too high, this can lead to welding faults. Check the
extraction volume flow on the extraction nozzle with the aid of a suitable test rig (depending on
the manufacturer).

Safety instructions for the electrical power supply
► Ensure that the power supply cable is not damaged, for example, by being driven over,
crushed or torn.
► Check the power supply cable for damage and wear at regular intervals.
► Only operate the device with an undamaged mains connector.
► Protect the mains connector (according to the current) on the mains side. ð 5 Technical data
(Page 16)
► If it is necessary to replace the power supply cable, only models indicated by the manufacturer
may be used.
► Only a qualified electrician should replace the power supply cable and the mains plug.
► Splash-water protection and mechanical stability must be ensured when replacing the mains
plug of the power supply cable.
► To replace or lengthen the power supply cable, use only a cable of the type and with the same
cross-section as the original.
