Fire Safety
This system is not designed to be used with processes that include any potential sources of
combustion.
It is the customer's responsibility to verify that any potential sources of combustion are
removed from the process before it reaches the system.
It is important that nozzles or other air extraction/fume capture devices and ductwork are
cleaned regularly to prevent the accumulation of potentially ignitable debris.
Dangers to Eyes, Respiration, and Skin
Dirty filters within the air extraction system contain a mixture of particulates, some of which
may be sub-micron size. Removing and replacing the filter agitates and releases some of these
particulates to the surroundings, enabling them to enter the respiratory system and eyes of the
operator. Additionally, depending on the materials used, the particulate might irritate the skin.
Filter Selection
The media within the filter in the air extraction system is capable of adsorbing a wide range of
organic compounds. However, it is the responsibility of the user to verify the media and filter
type are suitable for the particular application where the air extraction system is being used.
Caution:
Failure to clean the system and ductwork regularly may result in a fire in the system.
Warning: Hazardous Materials
When replacing filters always wear a mask, safety shoes, goggles, and gloves.
Caution:
This system must not be used with processes that use flammable materials, or with
explosive dusts and gases, without implementation of additional precautions.
