WARNING Ensure adequate ventilation when operating this equipment to prevent the
build-up of CO
2
gas. If used indoors or other confined space, a CO
2
detector
should be used to monitor for excessive unsafe levels of CO
2
gas and provide
a suitable warning.
WARNING Ensure that expended dry ice pellet emissions are not in the vicinity of air
ventilation.

clothes or foot-wear.
