SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not attempt to use this equipment until you have
thoroughly read all operating and maintenance man-
uals supplied with your equipment and any related
welding machine it will be used with. They include
important safety precautions, operating and mainte-
nance instructions and parts lists.
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
•Do not touch electrically live parts such
as output terminals or internal wiring.
•Insulate yourself from the work and
ground.
•Always wear dry insulating gloves.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
WELDING SPARKS can cause fire or
explosion.
•Keep flammable material away.
•Do not weld upon containers which
have held combustibles.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
ARC RAYS can burn.
•Wear eye, ear and body protection.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
FUMES AND GASES
can be dangerous.
• Although the removal of the particu-
late matter from welding smoke may
reduce the ventilation requirement,
concentrations of the clear exhausted
fumes and gases may still be haz-
ardous to health. Avoid breathing
concentrations of these fumes and
gases. Use adequate ventilation
when welding. See ANSI Z49.1,
"Safety in Welding and Cutting", pub-
lished by the American Welding
Society.

OPERATION

Only qualified personnel should operate this equip-
ment.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Always operate this equipment with the filter and arm
installed and all covers in place as these provide max-
imum protection from moving parts and insure proper
vacuum operation and cooling air flow.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Connect to 120 VAC input power and turn on.
Position hood within 10-15 inches (250-400mm) of the
arc. DO NOT USE FOR CUTTING OR GOUGING
OPERATIONS. The Mobiflex 200-M is recommended
for light duty or intermittent use. Although it can be
used in production applications, this may require very
frequent maintenance or replacement of the filter car-
tridge. Use of the Mobiflex 200-M disposable filter sys-
tem is cost effective if consumable use at the station
is less than 1500 lbs. per year of solid wire or 1100
lbs. per year of flux-shielded consumables.
FILTER MAINTENANCE INDICATOR
With use, the filter will fill up with collected fume. With
the Mobiflex 200-M turned on and the fan running,
check the maintenace indicator on the front panel of
the machine. The indicator will move gradually from
white to red as the filter becomes saturated, letting
you know ahead of time how close the filter is to clog-
ging.
When the maintenance indicator shows that the filter
is clogged (full red), replace the filter.
