Safety Precautions
NEVER USE THIS STATION WITH HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS OR
BIOHAZARDS. FAILURE TO DO THIS CAN RESULT IN EXPOSURE
TO THESE HARMFUL CONTAMINANTS.
This station is intended to be
used for the containment of nuisance powders only.
Ensure that the station is connected to electrical service in accordance
with local and national electrical codes. Failure to do so may create a fire
or electrical hazard. Do not remove or service any electrical components
without first disconnecting the station from electrical service.

appropriate personnel protective equipment.

in the station. An open flame should NOT be used in the station.
HEPA filters only remove particulate matter. Operations generating
volatile toxic chemicals are prohibited. The media of the filter is fragile and

installation or normal operation. If you suspect that a HEPA filter has
been damaged, DO NOT use the station; contact Labconco at 800-821-
5525 or 816-333-8811 for further information.
The HEPA filter in the station will gradually accumulate airborne
particulate matter from the powder and from airborne particulates. The
rate of accumulation will depend upon the cleanliness of the air, operating
time and the amount of powder being used in the station.
Do not operate the station without all of the appropriate filters in place.
When handling used filters or prefilters, always wear appropriate
