Manuale MQL-MQH 10.6.2005 12:26 Pagina 8 Safety General precautions Do not inhale concentrated vapours. Their concentration in the atmos- phere should not exceed the minimum preset values and should be maintained below the professional threshold. Being more weighty than the air, the vapour concentrates on the bottom, in narrow areas. There- fore, the exhaust system must work at low level.
