Frequently Answers and Questions

How do I replace the filters on the PFE-230?
Ensure the power is disconnected to the machine. Start with the pre-filters, replacing them as they get clogged with welding fumes. The HEPA filter should only be replaced when pre-filter replacement no longer improves suction.
What type of fumes can this extractor handle?
This product is suitable for collecting smoke and welding oil gas. It is not recommended for collecting iron chips and dust as this can cause sparks.
What are the different speed settings for?
The two-speed control allows you to adjust the CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) output. High speed provides a higher suction rate for heavier fume extraction, while low speed is suitable for lighter applications.
Is there a warranty on this product?
Air Systems offers a one-year warranty on the PFE-230 against defects in workmanship or materials under normal use. Electrical components are covered for 90 days.
Can I use an extension cord with the PFE-230?
Yes, but ensure it is of sufficient size rating to prevent voltage drops as this can damage the electric motors.
