such operation. When grinding epoxy, first ensure that
the epoxy is non-toxic.
• Do not vacuum any corrosive substances unless the
vacuum is specifically outfitted with containers suitable
for this purpose.
• Do not vacuum any burning, smoldering, or hot
materials. This could result in a possible explosion
and/or damage to the vacuum components.
• If toxic or harmful substances accidentally enter the
vacuum cleaner, the container and filters must be
removed and cleaned immediately using the proper
protective equipment and safety procedures.
• Utilize the locking caster wheel to prevent movement
while work is being performed.
• When moving the dust collector, never pull on the
vacuum hose. For this purpose, always use the
designated handles mounted on the machine.
• For this specific dust collector, sound tests indicate
that the emitted noise is level is measured at a
maximum of 75 decibels (dBA), for a distance of 1
meter from the machine (and height of 1.60 meters).
The vibrations emitted from the machine have been
measured at a maximum value of 2.5 m/s2. •
CAUTION: The National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH) recommends that exposure
to noise in the working environment be maintained
below a level equivalent to 85 dBA for a period of eight
hours, in order to minimize occupational, noiseinduced
hearing loss. Any persons working in proximity of the
vacuum cleaner should wear the proper hearing
protection in order to prevent hearing loss. Please refer
to you local laws and regulations for further information
on the matter.
• When storing the vacuum, the filter should be
removed and cleaned, and the waste container should
be emptied of debris. Store the vacuum in
temperatures between 25
°F and 104°F (0°C and 40°C).
Cover the vacuum in order to protect it from
accumulating debris and/ or environmental elements .
PROPANE SAFETY
Propane is a flammable gas whose vapors are heavier
than air. As is the case with gasoline, propane can
explode if the proper cautions are not heeded. Propane
is odorized with an agent having a distinct odor that is
recognizable at very low concentrations. This helps in
identifying leaks, even when they are small.

Awareness and basic safety precautions are
required when working with propane. As long as
these precautions are followed, risk is negligible.
Ignorance, however, could pose needless risk.

The two greatest hazards with propane powered
floor care machines are:
-
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: This is the
most frequently reported incident associated
with propane powered floor care machines and
is caused by excessive exhaust emissions. The
symptoms are headache, dizziness and
nausea. A major cause involves engines with
poor preventive maintenance practices, usually
those with dirty air filters and machines
operated in confined areas without adequate
ventilation. Another cause may be
substandard, inexpensive machines with no
emissions control technology and improperly
set carburetion.
- Overfilled Fuel Cylinders: Nearly all fire-
related incidents reported result from bringing a
cylinder into a building without first checking for
overfill. This action is dangerous, unwise, and
unnecessary.

equipment.
Explosion: LPG vapor concentrated or confined to a
small, restricted space may explode or ignite.
Propane may experience a BLEVE , a boiling liquid
expanding vapor explosion.
Emissions
All propane-powered floor care machines produce
emissions. Most are harmless, but some are dangerous
and can be fatal. Carbon monoxide (CO) poses the
greatest risk, since
CO can be lethal within as little as 30 minutes exposure
at a concentration of3,000 parts per million (ppm)
concentration.
LOCAL AGENCIES AND REGULATIONS

NFPA
Operating a propane powered floor care machine
requires compliance with certain safety regulations.
The National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) Standard
for Storage and Handling of LP Gas is the appropriate
authority for safe propane use. A copy of this
publication is available through the NPFA in Quincy,
MA (1-800-334-3555).
Among its regulations, NFPA #58 requires that all
personnel
employed in the handling of propane gas be trained in
its proper handling and operating procedures. It also
requires them to carry a written certification from their
employer or training supervisor to attest to such
training. Although this is directed mainly to those who
fill
and transport liquid propane gas, Onyx
Environmental Solutions recommends that operators of
propane powered floor care machines in public places
be trained and certified as well.
With regard to operation of propane powered floor
care equipment, even though NFPA #58 8-4.5 says
“these machines shall be permitted to be used in
buildings frequented by the public, including the times
when such buildings are occupied
by the public,” Onyx
Environmental Solutions suggests usage when
occupancy of a given work area is minimal.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) also set limits
