The push switch is used for switching the unit on and off.
The operating lever is used for releasing the load by opening the venting valve.
This lever may be actuated only when the load is resting on a solid surface.
When the lever is actuated, the vacuum is released immediately and the unit can be
lifted off the workpiece.
The vacuum is generated by an electrically driven blower.
The suction pads are designed to lift various items. Only items with smooth, air-tight
surfaces are suitable for vacuum lifting.
To generate vacuum, the suction pad must be in contact with and attached to the
load.
The suction pad must always be positioned in the centre of the workpiece in order to
ensure even distribution of the load. If the suction pad is positioned off-centre, the
workpiece may suddenly drop from the unit during lifting and lowering operations,
since the load is then one-sided.
