GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Miniflex has been specifically designed for extracting and/or filtering welding fume. It is a high vacuum, low volume system that excels in the design and ease of handling. It can be completely disassem- bled in a matter of minutes for cleaning and mainte- nance. With an automatic start/stop function, the unit automatically turns on and off during welding via a current sensor located in the slot at the top of the unit. It can be used in confined spaces and other locations that are not accessible with other welding fume extractors. And with its standard set of wheels and optional wall-mounting bracket, it can be easily moved around or positioned off the work floor, out of the welder’s working space.

Unit includes:

8 ft. (2.5 m) extraction hose with 1-3/4 in. (45 mm) O.D. hose adapter.

Two sets of seals and carbon brushes.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

WARNING

Plug in the Miniflex to a 115V single phase, grounded input suitable for 15 amp service.

USE WITH NOZZLES AND HOSES

WALL MOUNTING BRACKET (If applicable) h

The optional wall bracket provides an easy and practi- cal way to free some floor space. It can be easily installed onto any sturdy wall. The bracket does not include any hardware, therefore the user must supply their own screws, anchors, etc. because of the different types of walls the bracket can be installed on.

Note: Wall construction should be sturdy enough to support Miniflex unit.

MOUNTING THE WALL BRACKET ON A WALL

1.Using the bracket and a level as a guide, mark the four holes at the desired location on the wall.

2.Drill holes at each location.

3.Set anchors and align bracket with holes.

4.Screw bracket into wall using appropriate screws.

FIGURE A.1

The Miniflex is not supplied with a nozzle. Nozzles and extra hoses can be ordered separately as options. The recommended nozzles and hoses are:

Extraction Nozzles: EN 20 or 40 (K2389-5 and K2389-6)

Nozzle Kits: NKT or NKC (K2389-3, K2389-4)

Fume Exhaust Guns (See publication #13.10 and #12.110)

Extraction Hoses:

8ft. (2.5m) long x 1-3/4 in. (45mm) O.D. (K2389-9)

16 ft. (5m) long x 1-3/4 in. (45 mm) O.D.(K2389-8)

Hose-to-Hose Adapter (K2389-10)

Hose Connection Outlet (K2389-2)

See section C and Miniflex brochure Publication E13.11 for more information.

Note: Recommended maximum hose length is 24 ft. (7.5 m) on extraction side of unit.

Consult Lincoln Electric Automation before using any other size or length of hose.

MOUNTING THE MINIFLEX ON A WALL BRACKET

1.The wheel side of the Miniflex should be facing the wall (see Figure A.1).

2.Push in the silver metal plate (see Figure A.2) while inserting the lip of the bracket between the top of the canister and the filter.

3.When the lip of the bracket is in place, release the silver plate to attach bottom portion of the Miniflex into the bracket.

4.Push in silver metal plate and pull up on Miniflex to release from wall bracket.
