recommended that first time operators also obtain
practical instruction before using the machine.
• Under no circumstances may the design of the
product be modified without the permission of the

lapse into unconsciousness with no warning if the

its presence can not be detected. Any time exhaust
odors are noticed, carbon monoxide is present.

with poor ventilation. Ensure proper ventilation when
working in trenches or other confined areas.

circumstances interfere with active or passive

a substitute for professional skills and experience.
If you get into a situation where you feel unsafe,
