Positioning Of The Extraction Hood - Kemper MaxiFil Operating Manual

6.3 Positioning of the extraction hood

The extraction arm or extraction hood is designed in such a way that it can be
adjusted and moved easily by hand. The extraction hood maintains its set position
self-supporting once it has been positioned. Furthermore, both the suction hood and
the arm can be pivoted through 360° so that almost any position can be set. It is
important that the extraction hood is always positioned properly in order to achieve a
sufficient capturing of welding fumes. Please find the correct position on the
following image.
• Position the extraction arm so that the extraction hood is located approx. 25 cm
diagonally 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 efficiency do not
ensure that hazardous substance-containing air is captured adequately by the
exhaust hood. Hazardous substances can thus enter the area where the user
breathes and lead to injury to health!
