Elektra Beckum SPA 1100, Assembly And Operating Instructions Manual

Lay out the connection cable and use it to connect the
machine to the mains.
Switch on the electric motor and wait a few seconds
until the fan has reached maximum speed.
If the upper dust bag does not automatically expand with
air after a few seconds, pull it up.
Only switch on the wood working machine when you
are sure the dust bag is blown up, and start the wood
working process.
Allow the chipping suction device to run at least 10 sec-
onds after switching off the wood working machine.

Note:

We recommend a switch-on coupling to the suc-
tion device with more intense daily use of your
wood working machine. This brings about the
delayed switching on/off  of the chipping suction
device as soon as the wood working machine
has been switched on/off.

This automatic switching on/off device is available from
Elektra Beckum in two different designs (see section on
special accessories).

Electrical connection

Caution!

Compare the data on the nameplate of the
SPA 1100 with that of the mains prior to
commissioning. The mains frequency must
correspond to the figure on the nameplate.

Connection cable

Only use oil-resistant connection cable H07 RN-F. The
cross section of the cable must measure at least 1.0
mm

Fuse
Warning!

Hazard due to electrical shocks. For your
own protection only operate the machine
over a 30 mA fault current breaker.

Safeguard the plug to which the machine is connected
with a 10 A fuse (slow-blow).

Static electricity

The chipping suction device SPA 1100 is not composed
of electrically conductive components. If the machine is
connected to electrically conductive parts (e.g. metallic
suction hoods or suction pipes), these must be addi-
tionally earthed to conduct any electrostatic energy.
Never replace any plastic components of the SPA 1100
with metal parts. The suction hose, in particular, must
not have any metal spirals. Small metallic parts such as
screws and hose band clips are completely harmless.
Always use original spare parts from Elektra Beckum.
These are especially designed for the SPA 1100.

Overload protection

To protect the electrical motor against overload, there is
a motor protective device.
If the motor is overheated or overloaded this device
switches off the machine. The machine can be switched
on again after the electrical motor has been allowed to
cool down for a few minutes.

Note:

If the machine switches off a few times in a row
(2 - 3 times) as a result of the motor protective
device, the machine must be overhauled by a
qualified electrician before trying to switch on
again.

Operation

Position the SPA 1100 next to the wood working ma-
chinery without hindering the operation of the latter.
Connect the suction hose to the chipping suction sup-
ports of the wood working machine.

Storage

To store the chipping suction device the suction hose is
placed over the motor once and the end of the hose is
pushed into the opening of the bottom plate.

Maintenance/cleaning/storage

The SPA 1100 does not require any maintenance.
However, prior to starting up the machine always check
the following:

1. Check all screw connections! Tighten any loose

connections.

2. Is the switch casing, electrical motor or fan casing

damaged? Have any damaged parts replaced by an
electrician.

3. Is the dust bag or suction hose damaged. Replace

any damaged parts.

Cleaning

Clean the subframe and fan casing with a damp cloth.
Only clean the electrical motor and on/off switch with a
dry cloth.
Tap out any dirt from the dust bag (make sure that a
chipping collection bag is suspended below the ma-
chine).
Replace the chipping collection bag below the machi-
ne as soon as it is about 4/5 full. The maximum filling
height can also be seen from the side panels. (Arrow in
Fig.     ).
There is a horizontal slit in the plate for this purpose.
