PREPARATION FOR USE
3.1 Setup
The room in which the compressor is operated must satisfy
certain conditions [see also: 6.5 Ambient conditions for opera
tion]. The compressor is not intended for outdoor use.
CAUTION
When setting up the compressor, follow the instructions below
to avoid any
risk of injury
or
damage to the device
:
– Place the compressor on a firm, flat, dustfree, dry surface.
A soft base such as a sofa, a bed or tablecloth is not suit
able because the compressor might fall.
– Route the power cord in such a way that it is not a tripping
hazard and no one can become entangled in it.
– Make sure that children cannot pull on the power cord or
connection tubing and cause the compressor to fall.
– Only operate the compressor in a lowdust environment. If it
is operated in a very dusty environment (e.g., under the bed
or in workshops), or on the floor, a larger amount of dust is
likely to collect inside the housing, which may impair the
quality of the treatment or damage the compressor.
– Do not operate the compressor close to flammable objects
such as curtains, tablecloths, or paper.
– Do not operate the compressor in areas where there is a
risk of explosion or in the presence of oxidising gases (e.g.,
oxygen, nitrous oxide, flammable anaesthetics).
