⚡ Electrical & Power
Can the G0953 run on both 110V and 220V circuits?
Yes, the G0953 can operate on 110V or 220V, single-phase, 60 Hz circuits. Ensure your circuit meets the minimum requirements: 15A at 110V or 15A at 220V.
Does the unit come with a power cord and plug?
Yes, the G0953 includes a 118-inch power cord and plug. The included plug is 5-15 for 110V, and we recommend a 6-15 plug for 220V operation.
Can the extractor be controlled remotely?
Yes, the G0953 includes a hand-held remote control for convenient operation.
🧰 Operation & Filtration
Can it be used for paint fumes, including industrial paint?
Yes, the fume extractor is suitable for removing paint fumes.
Can this unit filter mist coolant or liquids?
No, the G0953 is designed for fumes and particulate matter only and is not suitable for use with coolant or other liquids.
Can it be used for dust collection, such as connecting a port to a bag?
No, this machine is specifically designed for smoke, fumes, and small particles from operations like laser cutting or welding. It is not a woodworking dust collector.
Can both the front and top intake ports run simultaneously?
Yes, the two front ports are for machine connections, while the four top ports are for room air filtration. All ports operate simultaneously.
What does “4 ports on top for room filtration” mean? Can I vent the filtered air outside?
The top ports pull air from the surrounding area into the unit for filtration and then return it to the room. The unit is not designed to vent air outside, as this would remove temperature-controlled air from your workspace.
Is this unit suitable for welding fumes in addition to laser fumes?
Yes, the G0953 is suitable for filtering harmful odors and fumes from welding booths and chemical hoods. It is not designed to function as a dedicated metal dust collector.
Will the filtration system capture hexavalent chromium compounds from stainless steel welding?
Yes, the G0953 can capture welding fumes containing hexavalent chromium. However, proper PPE should still be used, as any escaping fumes remain hazardous.
🛠️ Filters & Maintenance
How many filters does the G0953 use?
The G0953 uses eight filters across three chambers, including pleated pre-filters, bag filters, activated carbon bags, and a HEPA filter.
What is the HEPA filter rating?
The HEPA filter collects particles down to 0.3 microns with a MERV-17 rating at 99.97% efficiency.
Do you sell replacement filters?
Yes, both HEPA and pre-filters are available and can be purchased through the accessories section of the product webpage.
How does the unit indicate when filters need cleaning or replacement?
The built-in pressure gauge provides a visual indication of when the filters need cleaning or replacement.
🏗️ Construction & Setup
Can the G0953 be mounted on a wall?
No, the fume extractor does not include a wall-mount option.
How mobile is the unit?
The G0953 has locking caster wheels, making it easy to move around your workspace.
How long does assembly take?
Assembly and setup take approximately 30 minutes.
What is the footprint of the G0953?
The upright design provides a small footprint while still allowing for multiple intake ports and filter chambers.
🌍 General Use & Safety
Can the extractor maintain a heated or cooled work environment?
Yes, because it filters the air internally, the G0953 allows you to retain heated or cooled air in your workspace, unlike blowers or dust collectors that vent air outside.
Is the G0953 suitable for 3D printers, CO2 lasers, or fiber lasers?
Yes, it effectively removes fumes and fine dust generated by 3D printing, CO2 laser cutting, or fiber laser operations on materials like wood, plastic, steel, and aluminum.
Does the G0953 filter odors from chemical processes?
Yes, the three activated carbon bags remove harmful chemicals and odors from welding booths, chemical hoods, or laser operations.
