3. Safety
Note the safety precautions in chapters 7. Installation, mount-
ing and connection, and 8. Operation.
The pump/system is built according to the generally recognized
rules of technology and in accordance with the occupational safety
and accident prevention regulations. Nevertheless, dangers can
result during their use which lead to injuries to the user or others,
or to damage to the pump/system or other property.
Only use the pump/system when it is in a good technical and
proper working order, in accordance with its intended use, observ-
ing the safety advice within the operating instructions, at all times.
Make sure that only trained and instructed personnel or specially
trained personnel work on the pump/system. This especially ap-
plies to assembly, connection and servicing work.
Make sure that the personnel has read and understood the operat-
ing instructions, and in particular the "Safety" chapter.
Observe the accident prevention and safety regulations when
performing any work on the pump/system and during operation.
Do not expose any part of your body to the vacuum.
Open housing parts with notice sticker (see fig. 1) only after
separating mains plug from power source.
When transferring dangerous media, observe the safety regula-
tions when handling these media.
Be aware that the pump/system is not designed to be explosion-
proof.
Make sure the temperature of the medium is always sufficiently
below the ignition temperature of the medium, to avoid ignition or
explosion. This also applies for unusual operational situations.
Note that the temperature of the medium increases when the pump
compresses the medium.
Hence, make sure the temperature of the medium is sufficiently
below the ignition temperature of the medium, even when it is
compressed to the maximum permissible operating pressure of the
pump. The maximum permissible operating pressure of the pump
is stated in the technical specifications (see chapter 5.1, page 10).
If necessary, consider any external sources of energy, such as
radiation, that may add heat to the medium.
In case of doubt, consult the KNF customer service.
Store all replacement parts in a protected manner and dispose of
them properly in accordance with the applicable environmental
protection regulations. Observe the respective national and inter-
national regulations. This especially applies to parts contaminated
with toxic substances.
