WELDING
FUME
FILTBR
INTRODUCTION
Your
MT800
or
MT900
is
a
portable
welding
fume
filter that uses
a three stage
filtration
system
to
filter
welding fumes
and
return cleaned
air to
the work area.
The spark
trap
collects
heavy
particles,
slag,
pieces of
mig
wire etc.
The
fibreglass
insert
inside
the spark
trap
is
supported
by a
steel
gavze
and
stops sparks
and
very
hot
pieces from
damaging
the
main filter.
It is
important
that the
fibreglass
is in
good
condition
and
fitted
correctly.
Failure to
replace
the
fibreglass when
it is
worn
or
eaten
away
by
hot sparks
or
molten
metal can
result
in damage
to the
main filter
or
in extreme
oases
a
fire.
The disposable
main
filter
cartridge,
filters the
welding
smoke
to
97oh
efficiency,
99.996%
to
British
Standard
3928
if the optional
Hi-Efficiency
filter
is used.
MT800's
have
a single
1100 watt by
pass
motor,
and
MT900's have twin
1100
watt by
pass
motors to
give
extra suction
and superior
airflow.
OPERATION
Before operating
your
machine,
it is important
to check
that
your power
supply
is the
same as
the
machine, and that a suitable
plug is fitted. All
machines must be earthed.
Your machine is assembled
at the
factory, all that
you
have to do
is
to attach
the
flexible
hose
to the
spigot on the spark
trap using
the
hose clip
provided.
The other end
of the
flexible hose should be attached
to anozzle
with
magnet,
mig
torch attachment,
or
the
take offspigot of
mig
extractor torch.
FILTER FULL LIGHT
All MT800
and MT900
models
are
now fitted with filter
full
indicators.
This light
is
situated
adjacent to
the
on-offswitch.
When
illuminated
the
main
filter
cartridge
should
be
replaced
immediately.
It
is always advisable
to replace
the fibreglass
in the
spark trap
at the
same
time as the
filter
cartridge.
