Ensure that effluents are extracted into a safe disposal system. The bore of the
extraction pipework must be of a greater internal bore than the pump outlet. Exhaust
lines carrying hazardous gases must not be used for any other purpose.

As far as practicable, shut down gas lines when not in use.
1.4.6.11 Pumps must always be operated in accordance with the manufacturers' manuals and
with Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology engineers' training courses.
Pumps, when fitted with a nitrogen purging facility, must always be purged during a
processing run and for a suitable period after a processing run has finished.
