PREPARATION FOR USE
3.1 Setup
The room in which the compressor is operated must satisfy
certain conditions [see also: Ambient conditions for operation,
page 50]. The compressor is not intended for outdoor use.
CAUTION
When setting up the compressor, follow the instructions be-
low to avoid any
risk of injury
or
damage to the device
:
– Always take the compressor out of its storage bag to oper-
ate it. If it is operated while in the bag, there is a danger that
it will overheat.
– Place the compressor on a firm, flat, dust-free, dry surface.
A soft base such as a sofa, a bed or tablecloth is not suit-
able because the compressor might fall.
– Route the power adapter cable in such a way that it is not a
tripping hazard and no one can become entangled in it.
– Make sure that children cannot pull on the power adapter
cable or connection tubing and cause the compressor to fall.
– Only operate the compressor in a low-dust environment. If it
is operated in a very dusty environment (e.g., under the bed
or in workshops), or on the floor, a larger amount of dust is
likely to collect inside the housing, which may impair the
quality of the treatment or damage the compressor.
WARNING
To avoid a
risk of fire
due to a
short circuit
, follow the in-
structions below when setting up the compressor:
– Do not operate the compressor close to flammable objects
such as curtains, tablecloths, or paper.
– Do not operate the compressor in areas where there is a
risk of explosion or in the presence of oxidising gases (e.g.,
oxygen, nitrous oxide, flammable anaesthetics).
