Safety
PACE Fume Extraction systems are designed to reduce the level of harmful contaminants from the work
environment and to assist in achieving the recommended health and safety requirements for local exhaust
ventilation and contaminant removal. Be sure to follow all safety guidelines contained here and in other relevant
safety literature (i.e., Material Safety Data Sheets) provided with the substances and equipment producing the
fumes to be extracted.
Disclaimer
PACE hereby disclaims all responsibility for any personal injury, property damage, fine, citation or penalty
imposed by any government or private entity which results from any use, misuse or misapplication of this
product, failure of the user to regularly maintain the product according to the recommended guidelines, or failure
to adequately monitor fume extraction exhaust air and the ambient workplace air for the presence of harmful
levels of gases, fumes and particulates.
Compliance with all applicable environmental and personal safety regulations is the sole responsibility of the
user. Adequate self-monitoring of exhaust air released into as well as monitoring of the ambient workplace air is
strongly recommended. To insure continued effective performance, the following guidelines must be followed.
Dangers
1. PACE Fume Extractors are not intended to be used as a substitute for devices such as personal
protective respirators which are designed to remove poorly adsorbed substances including carbon
monoxide, methane, hydrogen, acetylene and other gases. Risk of serious injury or death, fire or
explosion may result from improper use. If in doubt, contact your industrial hygienist or PACE.
2. Never use PACE Fume Extraction Systems to extract fumes from highly flammable liquids and gases
such as Ether, Gasoline (Petrol) and others. Risk of serious injury, death, fire or explosion may result.
3. High concentrations or airborne contaminants such as Methyl Ethyl Ketone, Cyclohexane, Ozone and
others when contacted with activated carbon, can undergo oxidation, decomposition or polymerization
resulting in exothermic reactions or heat generation. PACE Fume Extraction Systems must not be used
to extract fumes from these substances when high concentrations are present.
4. Failure to comply with the application and maintenance guidelines, filter replacement schedules,
monitoring recommendations and safety guidelines contained herein and in other relevant product
safety literature (i.e., Material Safety Data Sheets) provided with the substances and equipment
producing the fumes to be extracted could result in risk of serious injury, fire or explosion.
