2. Safety instructions
A fog machine is not a toy!
• Very hot steam escapes from the nozzle. Danger of getting burnt.
• Occasionally very hot droplets of fluid may escape when in operation.
Thus never aim at persons directly and keep a minimum distance of 3 m to the
nozzle.
• Never touch the nozzle when in operation. Danger of getting burnt.
• The location for the machine must be non-flammable, non-combustible and
not sensitive to heat. It has to be twice as big as the machine.
• Keep a minimum distance of 60 cm to all flammable, combustible objects and
objects sensitive to heat.
• Glycol is alcohol and burns with a slightly bluish, almost invisible flame. Never
point the fog at strong sources of ignition like fire or pyrotechnic effects.
• Never open the machine and leave the machine unattended when connected
to a power supply.
• The visibility has to be more than 2 m in rooms where people walk around.
• Do not swallow the fog fluid. Keep it away from children. In case of eye contact,
rinse with a lot of water. Consult a doctor should you have accidentally
swallowed some fluid.
• Spilled fluid or splashed fluid droplets can cause slip hazard. Mop up the fluid
and dispose of it according to regulations.
• Fog may activate smoke detectors.
Artificially-made fog can be produced in many different ways. The method
used here to produce fog, with a device which works according to the vaporizer
principle, is the most harmless one.
No case has so far been reported in which a sound human being has been
harmed because of using our device to produce artificial fog. However, this can
only be guaranteed if the professional fog generators are used accordingly, i.e.
at the correct vaporization temperatures as well as with the correctly mixed fog
fluid.
We, however, recommend:
People with health problems or problems of the
respiratory tract or with an inclination for allergies should avoid any contact
with artificially-made fog.
