2.3.1 Country-specific obligations of the operator
The recirculation of filtered air is sometimes associated with health risks and is therefore prohibited in certain countries.
2.4 Specific safety instructions
• Do not use or store the device outdoors under humid conditions.
• If it is necessary to replace power cords or device connecting cables, only models indicated by the manufacturer may
be used.
• When using the welding fume filter, the volume flow that is led back to the work area may not exceed 50% of the supply
air of the installation area. In the event of free room ventilation, the supply air flow corresponds to one room volume per
hour. This corresponds to a ventilation rate of 1/h.
Supply air flow [m³/h] = room volume [m³]
