General notes on safety
Danger
Risk of suffocation on account of carbon di-

content in the air at the place where the ma-
chine is used will increase when the ma-
chine is running. Ensure adequate
ventilation at the place of use; if possible,
use an alarm to warn persons. Symptoms
of high levels of carbon dioxide in the air
that is breathed in:
- 3...5%: headache, faster breathing.
- 7...10%: headache, nausea and per-
haps even unconsciousness.
If any of these symptoms occur, please
switch off the machine immediately and get
a breath of fresh air and improve the venti-
lation before starting work again with the
machine.
Follow the safety specifications of the man-
ufacturer of carbon dioxide.
Danger
Risk of injury if the machine is left running in
