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.
Warnings
1.
Do not attempt to clean any PACE fume extraction filters for reuse. Cleaning the filters will
severely damage the filter media and, consequently, the filter’s performance. This will
result in unfiltered, contaminated air being returned to the working environment. Unfiltered
air can also damage the motor pump.
2.
Use with inappropriate chemicals or substances, failure to provide regular maintenance or
other misuse of your Fume Extraction System may result in contaminated air being re-
circulated into the work environment.
Cautions
1.
Failure to supply the correct voltage to the unit will result in damage to the motor.
