Positioning The Exhaust Hood; Initial Operation - Kemper MaxiFil Mode D'emploi

6.3 Positioning the exhaust hood

The exhaust arm and the suction hood are designed so that they can be easily
adjusted and pulled into position with one hand. Once adjusted, the suction hood
remains in that position of its own accord. Furthermore, both the suction hood and
the arm can be pivoted through 360° so that almost any position can be set. For
adequate capture of welding fumes, it is important that the suction hood is always
positioned correctly. You can see the correct position in the following picture.
• Position the arm so that the exhaust hood is about 25 cm obliquely above the
weld.
• The exhaust hood must be positioned so that it safely captures the welding
fumes, taking into account the movement of welding fumes caused by the heat
and the suction range.
• Always move the exhaust hood with respect to the weld position as you
advance.
WARNING
An incorrectly positioned exhaust hood or too low an extraction
performance do not ensure that hazardous substance-containing air is
captured adequately by the exhaust hood. Hazardous substances can
thus enter into the area where the user breathes and lead to injury to
health!

6.4 Initial Operation

• Turn the unit on with the On/Off button marked "0" and "I".
• The fan starts and the green operating control lamp on the On/Off switch
indicates that the device is running normally.
• Always move the exhaust hood with respect to the weld position as you
advance.
