Indicated  times  have  been  obtained  in  laboratory  tests  and  are  shown  for  guidance.  The  ambient 
temperature will influence the necessary duration of the treatment. 

In general, the temperature of 60ºC can be considered as a lethal temperature measured inside the 
wood. 

The treatment needed to reach in high depth 

(≥5cm) 

can increase wood surface temperature to very 

high temperatures. Confirm that the temperature is appropriate for the object you want to treat. 

Precautions during treatment 

Do not allow access to the work area to people or animals. Respect the safety distance of 12 meters 
around the equipment. 

If  treatment  needs  to  be  stopped,  tap  the  red  button  on  the  screen  or  press  the  emergency  stop 
button. Treatment will stop immediately. 

Do not tamper with equipment wiring during operation. 

Do not interrupt the power supply during treatment. If there is a power interruption, you must repeat 
the treatment in full. 

At the end of the treatment, be careful with the treated objects, their temperature will be elevated. It 
may take several minutes for wood to dissipate heat.
