WASTE DISPOSAL

This material is subject to separate collection. Do not dispose of in domestic waste.

EN 60335-2-69

• The dust compartment should be emptied when necessary, but also after each use.
• For dusts with an ignition energy of less than 1mJ, additional restrictions from labour legislation may apply.
• Type 22 units are not suitable for the extraction of dusts or liquids with a high explosion risk, or mix-tures of combustible dusts and liquids.
• CAUTION – Use only accessories approved by the manufacturer for use with the Type 22. Use of other accessories may cause an explosion hazard.
• CAUTION – Use only accessories approved for use with the ESD protected area type. Use of other accessories may cause electrostatic discharge.
• The appliance should only be operated when all filters, including the engine cooling air filters, are in place and undamaged.
• Dust extractors of the electrostatically protected area type are suitable for connection to dust-produ-cing appliances in electrostatically protected areas It must be ensured that no ignition sources are drawn in. Conductive parts of appliances, including extractor hoods and conductive parts of Class II appliances, must be electrostatically grounded. Electrostatic earthing can be achieved through the dust extractor or through an independent electrostatic earthing device.
• Type 1 and Type 2 ESD protected dust extractors are not suitable for use in equipment where ignition sources are produced.

PNEUMATICS

• The inlet air system pressure must be less than or equal to 10 bar.
• A higher pneumatic pressure than recommended can alter the operation of the product, with a significant loss of suction. In this case, it is necessary to check the pressure at the pro-duct inlet and on the suction system, located inside the product. (Setting 4 bars max). A malfunction of the suction system can occur when the bag is full or completely blocked. In this case, the full bag must be removed and replaced by a new one. For the bag, the manufacturer’s recommen-dations must be followed.

SANDING MACHINE

A pneumatic sander (not included) with a Ø32 mm suction nozzle connects to the hoover. It can also be connected to the pneumatic network via the automatic nozzle included in the suction hose.

WARNING

The following indications:

1. Before use, read the instructions
2. Connect the hoover’s metal ground clamp to a part of the workplace connected to the installation’s ground circuit.(The suction and circulation of dust generates static electricity).
3. Disconnect the pneumatic power supply before changing the bag.
   The dust bag should avoid contact with flames or sparks.

FITTING THE DUST BAG (058880)

WARNING: during this operation, explosive atmospheres and dust deposits may be formed; avoid introducing potential sources of ignition such as: mechanical sparks, electrical parts, hot surfaces, flames, hot gases, electrostatic charges in the vicinity of the device. Follow the internal standards for behaviour in the presence of potentially explosive atmospheres according to the Atex Directive 2014/34/EU.

• Check, at least at the end of the working day, that the dust bag inside the hoover is full.
• The maximum capacity of the dust bag is 7 kg and 20 l volume: do not exceed this limit!
• In the event that the removed bag shows tears, proceed with care and following the internal standards of behaviour in the presence of explosive atmospheres in accordance with the Atex Directive 2014/34/EU.
• Do not use the same dust bag more than once and use ONLY the GYS dust bag with code 058880.
• Spare bags should be stored in a dry place.
• For disposal, act in accordance with the law and internal standards of behaviour for handling explosive dusts.

Steps for fitting the dust bag

1. Carry out this operation with the metal clamp connected to the earth circuit of the installation.
2. Close the compressed air supply valve on top of the hoover.
3. Disconnect the quick disconnect power connector on the back of the hoover before opening the rear cover. Use the flush latches to open the bonnet.
4. Unhook the flange of the dust bag from the suction port, close the dust bag with the cap provided to prevent dust from escaping from the bag during transport. Carefully lift the dust bag and place it in a designated area within the ATEX installation.
5. Remove any dust deposits inside the bucket.
6. Place a new dust bag in the bucket, connecting the flange to the suction port.
7. Check for breaks or tears in the filter cloth.
8. Close the cover by slamming it shut, making sure not to tear the bag.
9. Connect the compressed air supply to the rear of the hoover with the quick coupling provided.

CONNECTING THE HOOVER

1. Connect the compressed air supply, not exceeding 10 bar, to connector 1.

2. Turn knob 2 to activate the suction.

3. The operating pressure of the sander can be adjusted with the knob 3.

4. Pressure gauge 4 indicates the operating pressure of the sander.

5. Insert the duct into hole 1.

6. Connect suction hose 2 and sander supply 3 (G1/4)

7. Connect coupler 4 to the hoover.

FAILURES AND ANOMALIES

The hoover does not work

|

Check that the hoover is connected to the compressed air network.

Press the start button.

Check the pressure gauge inside the hoover. It is set at the factory and should be at 3.5 bar.

Check that no hoses are pinched or disconnected. Check that the bag or the duct is not blocked.

|

The sander does not work

|

Check that the pneumatic hose is connected.

Check that the pressure gauge 1 indicates a pressure of around 4 bar, otherwise adjust using the knob.

CLEANING OF DUST DEPOSITS

At the end of the working day, check for dust deposits on the flat surfaces of the hoover (front, top, etc.). If there are dust deposits, make sure that the metal clamp of the hoover is connected to the earth circuit of the installation and carefully remove the dust deposits, avoiding creating explosive atmospheres.
