MINIFLEX
A-2
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
Plug in the Miniflex to a 115V single phase,
grounded input suitable for 15 amp service.

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.
