5.5 Chip extraction

Warning! Risk of injury! The dust extraction hose must be non-flammable and must not conduct electricity! For
this reason, only use genuine FELDER ­dust extraction hoses!

Note: As a rule, all units must be vacuumed during use. A time delayed socket is available as an accessory.

• In addition, the vacuum performance must be sufficient to

achieve the required negative pressures and an air speed
of 20 m/s at the connector. (see “Technical data”)
• Check the air speed before putting the machine into
operation for the first time and after essential changes.
• The dust extractor setup must be controlled before the
machine is put into operation for the first time. Check for
obvious defects on a daily basis and the efficiency on a
monthly basis.
• The dust extractor must be connected to the machine
! in such a manner that it runs in unison with the
machine.
• The dust extraction hoses must be electrically conducti-
ve and grounded to prevent electrostatic
build up.

breaker (DIN VDE 0641).
Number of terminals: 3 (three phase current motors)
• The unit must only be used in TN-Systems (neutral
connected to earth)! (only 3x400V)
• Power supply cable H07RN-F at least 5x 2,5 (rotary-
current motor) or 3x 2,5 (alternating-current motor).
• Safeguarding/Power supply cord:
see “Technical data”
Fig. 5-10: Direction of the Motor rotatation • The power supply cable must be protected against
damage (e.g. armoured conduit).
1. Connect the plug to the power supply. • The power supply cable must be laid in such a way
2. Switch on and let the machine run briefly. so it does not overbend or chafe and there is no risk
See chapter entitled: >Operation< of tripping over it.
3. While the motor is running, check its direction of
­rotation.
4. Should a change in the direction of rotation be
necessary, switch the two phases on the power
cable.
