Safety
PACE Fume Extraction systems are designed to reduce the level of harmful contaminants from
the work environment and to assist in the achievement of recommended health and safety
requirements for local exhaust ventilation and contaminant removal. Be sure to follow all safety
guidelines contained herein and precautions contained in other relevant product 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 mis-
application 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 and adequate self-monitoring of exhaust air released into the
atmosphere or the workplace 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,
Cyclohexone, 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.
