incorporated into machinery or to be assembled with
other machinery to constitute machinery covered by
Directive 2006/42/EC, as amended.
It is not allowed to put the product into service until
the machinery into which it is to be incorporated or
of which it is to be a component has been found and
declared to be in conformity with the provision of
Directive 2006/42/EC and with national implementing
legislation, i.e. as a whole, including the machinery
referred to in this declaration.
The correct use of pneumatic equipment within a
system is the responsibility of the system designer or
the person who determines its technical
specifications.
Compressed air may be dangerous if used by
unskilled personnel. Assembling, using and
maintaining the product should solely be carried out
by experienced and specially trained personnel.
Prior to assembly and disassembly of the
components, cut off voltage and pressure. Install
and maintain the components only after thoroughly
reading and understanding this manual.
Warning!
Irresponsible use of compressed air may
cause injury. Compressed air must never be
used for anything else than designated
purposes. Remember to always shut off the
compressed air when cleaning or servicing
the modules.
Maintenance must be carried out in accordance with
the instructions in this manual. Prior to any
maintenance work, suspend compressed air/
electrical supply, and discharge residual pressure.
Warning!
•
Do not install or operate your product if it is
damaged during transport, handling or use.
Damage may result in bursting and cause injury
or property damage.
•
Vacuum and exhaust air can cause severe
injuries, keep hands, legs, hair and eyes away
from vacuum inlets and exhausts.
• Ensure that the compressed air line is properly
secured to avoid personal injury, equipment
damage and/or application failure.
•
Ensure that a filter is used for preventing
ejected objects if the product is used for
evacuating solid content.
•
Ensure no foreign matters enter the exhaust
Page 6/28
port due to the risk of ejected objects, and
damage of the product.
•
Do not restrict or block the exhaust, to avoid
product damage and application failure.
•
In case of evacuation of hazardous substances
and/or gases the exhaust flow must be
contained and properly treated.
•
Ensure that the vacuum and exhaust ports
are not simultaneously blocked when the unit
is generating vacuum. This is to avoid ejected
objects and damage of the product, and
application failure.
•
Do not evacuate liquids to avoid product
damage and application failure.
Intended use
For professional use only. The product is used for
creating vacuum or blow. The product shall be used
to evacuate air (non-liquids) from a volume to create
vacuum for gripping, holding and processes. The
product can be used to blow air for surface cleaning
and to remove vacuum from a volume. The product
can be used to detect and monitor vacuum. The
product shall be used in environments within the
product's specifications and certifications. The
product shall be installed in accordance to
installation instructions. The product shall be
maintained in accordance to maintenance
instructions. Troubleshooting shall be conducted in
accordance to manual instructions.
Misuse
Do not use the product if it is damaged. The product
shall not be used to create vacuum or blow for other
purposes than the intended use. The product shall
not be used to evacuate solid content without the
use of filter. Do not use the product to evacuate
hazardous substances and/or gases without proper
treatment of exhaust flow. Do not use the equipment
as a stand-alone unit to fulfill international lifting
standards. Do not use the product for evacuating
liquids. Do not use the product if the exhaust is
restricted or blocked. Do not use the product if the
compressed air line is not properly secured. Do not
use the product if vacuum and exhaust port are
simultaneously blocked when unit is generating
vacuum. Do not keep the valves open when the
product is not in operation for a prolonged time. The
seals and lubrication will degrade. Do not install the
product in a fully closed compartment, without
ventilation and exhaust channeling. Do not use
blow-off functions or ejector exhaust for
pressurizing components such as cylinders and/or
tank-volumes. Do not use compressed air pressure
or electrical voltage outside the specification.
