0.3 Safety
Cautions
!
DANGER
If the vacuum pump is used to pump toxic gas, the pump oil will be toxic, not to
mention oil mist trap itself. Take care in maintenance.
!
WARNING
Do not use the oil mist trap in an explosive atmosphere. Injury or fire can result.
!
WARNING
Always use the oil mist trap at below the maximum flow rate. Otherwise, the internal
pressure will rise and the oil mist trap will fail. The maximum flow rate is 120 L/min for
the OMT-100A and 240 L/min for the OMT-200A.
!
WARNING
Do not use the oil mist trap for inflammable gas. Injury or fire can result.
!
WARNING
Do not touch or replace an element during vacuum pump operation or immediately
after the pump is shut down. It is very hot and can cause burn.
!
WARNING
Do not plug the exhaust port nor attach a device that interferes with the passage of gas
to the exhaust port when the unit is operated. The pressure in the oil mist trap will rise
and the unit may be damaged or fail. Note that the unit is not explosion-proof.
!
CAUTION
If the oil mist trap is damaged, immediately turn off the switch for the vacuum pump
and remove the power plug. If a damaged oil mist trap is used, oil mist may come out or
internal pressure may rise. For safety, contact your local distributor.
!
CAUTION
Do not use the oil mist trap for corrosive gas. Damage or failure can result.
