Dangers to eyes, breathing and skin
Once used, the filters within the FumeCab 700 system may contain a mixture of particulates, some of which may be sub-micron size. When the used filters are moved it may agitate some of this particulate, which could get into the breathing zone and eyes of the operative. Additionally, depending on the materials being used, the particulate may be an irritant to the skin.
This unit should not be used on processes with sparks of flammable materials or with explosive dusts and gases, without implementation of additional precautions.
Caution: When changing used filters always wear a mask, safety shoes, goggles and gloves.
Carbon selection
Please note that the media within the gas filter fitted in the FumeCab 700 is capable of adsorbing a wide range of organic compounds. However, it is the responsibility of the user to ensure it is suitable for the particular application it is being used on.

Fire Risk Warning

In the very rare event that a burning ember or spark is drawn into the fume extraction unit, it may be possible that the filters will ignite.
Whilst any resultant fire would typically be retained within the fume extraction unit, the damage to the extractor could be significant. It is therefore essential to minimise the possibility of this occurring by undertaking an appropriate
Risk assessment to determine:-
a). Whether additional fire protection equipment should be installed.
b). Appropriate maintenance procedures to prevent the risk of build-up of debris which could potentially combust.
This unit should not be used on processes where sparks could occur, with explosive dusts and gases, or with particulates which can be pyrophoric (can spontaneously ignite), without implementation of additional precautions.
It is essential that nozzles or other extraction/ fume capture devices and hoses/pipework are cleaned regularly to prevent the build-up of potentially ignitable debris

Before Installation **

Unpacking and unit placement
Packaging Removal & Unit Placement
Before installation check the extraction unit for damage.
All packaging must be removed before the unit is connected to the power supply.
Please read all instructions in this manual before using this extractor.

1. Move the unit to the location where it is going to be installed and remove the outer packaging. This unit should be installed in a well-ventilated area.
2. Open the front door.
   Check the filters are located in their correct position before closing the door and securing the door latches.

Note: The door will not close fully if the Combined filter has not been secured in place using the internal lever. (As detailed below)
Ensure that 500 mm space is available around any vented panels on the extractor to ensure adequate airflow.
Caution
Due to the weight of the extractor suitable lifting equipment should be used and with regard to appropriate safety precautions. (See Appendix for product weight details)
Caution
Under no circumstances should the exhaust outlet/s be covered as this will restrict the airflow and cause overheating.
Caution
Do not block or cover the cooling vents on the unit, as this severely restricts airflow and may cause damage to the unit. The FumeCab 700 features a hinged transparent Perspex panel on the front of the unit. This allows for more room to place larger work pieces inside the unit when working, while not restricting the user’s vision.

Installation

Unit Information & Connecting to Mains
The FumeCab 700 has been designed to remove and filter fume containing potentially hazardous particulate and gases generated during manufacturing processes. Such hazardous substances are captured within a multistage filtration system after which the cleaned air is returned to the workplace.
The FumeCab 700 captures the fume acting as an enclosure or cabinet. The user is working on the work piece from inside the unit instead of externally through the use of ductwork.

Maintenance

Maintenance UK
It is a legal requirement, under regulation 9 of the COSHH regulations that all local exhaust ventilation systems are thoroughly examined and tested at least once every 14 months (typically carried out annually). The approved code of practice recommends that a visual check should be carried out at least once a week.
COSHH requires the annual inspection and testing to be carried out by a competent person and specifies that documentation results are recorded in a log.
Contact the seller for more information about inspection and certification.
Maintenance General
User maintenance is limited to cleaning the unit and filter replacement, only the manufacturers trained maintenance technicians are authorised to carry out component testing and replacement. Unauthorised work or the use of unauthorised replacement filters may result in a potentially dangerous situation and/or damage to the extractor unit and will invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty.
Cleaning the unit
The powder coat finish units can be cleaned with a damp cloth and non- aggressive detergent, do not use an abrasive cleaning product as this will damage the finish.
The cooling inlets and outlets should be cleaned once a year to prevent build- up of dust and overheating of the unit.
Replacing Filters
The FumeCab 700 system will alert the user when its filters need replacing when the red filter change indicator light on the control panel glows.
Fire Risk Warning
In the very rare event that a burning ember or spark is drawn into the fume extraction unit, it may be possible that the filters will ignite. Whilst any resultant fire would typically be retained within the fume extraction unit, the damage to the extractor would be significant. It is therefore essential to minimise this risk by undertaking an appropriate assessment to determine:-
a). Whether additional fire protection equipment should be installed.
b). Appropriate maintenance procedures to prevent the risk of build-up of debris which could potentially combust.
A log of the changes should be maintained by the user.
The filters require attention when the display shows the filter blocked icon/ filter output signal (if fitted) or when the extractor no longer removes fume efficiently.
All filters are tested to BS3928. A certificate of conformity for each filter is available on request.
It is recommended that a spare set of filters are kept on site to avoid prolonged unit unavailability. Part numbers for replacement filters can be found on the filters fitted in your system.
To prevent overheating, units should not be run with a blocked filter condition, or with dust obstruction of Inlets / Outlets.
