Safety; Introduction - Pace ARM-EVAC 150 Operation Manual

Safety

PACE Fume Extraction systems are designed to reduce harmful contaminants in the work environment for
achieving recommended health and safety requirements. Be sure to follow all safety guidelines contained here
and in other relevant safety literature (i.e., Material Safety Data Sheets) provided with the substances and
equipment producing the fumes to be extracted.
Disclaimer
PACE hereby disclaims all responsibility for any personal injury, property damage, fine, citation or penalty
imposed by any government or private entity which results from any use, misuse or misapplication of this
product, failure of the user to regularly maintain the product according to the recommended guidelines, or failure
to adequately monitor fume extraction exhaust air and the ambient workplace air for the presence of harmful
levels of gases, fumes and particulates.
Compliance with all applicable environmental and personal safety regulations is the sole responsibility of the
user. Adequate self-monitoring of exhaust air released, as well as monitoring of the ambient workplace air, is
strongly recommended. To insure continued effective performance, the following guidelines must be followed:
Dangers
1. PACE Fume Extractors are not intended as replacement of devices designed for removal of poorly
adsorbed substances like carbon monoxide, methane, hydrogen, acetylene and other gases. Risk of
serious injury or death, fire or explosion may result from improper use. If in doubt, contact your industrial
hygienist or PACE.
2. Never use PACE Fume Extraction Systems to extract fumes from highly flammable liquids or gases
such as Ether, Gasoline (Petrol) and others. Risk of serious injury, death, fire or explosion may result.
3. High concentrations of some airborne contaminants such as Methyl Ethyl Ketone, Cyclohexane, Ozone
and others may have an exothermic reaction when contacted with activated carbon, possibly resulting in
extreme heat generation and eventually combustion. PACE Fume Extraction Systems must not be used
to extract fumes from these substances when high concentrations are present.
4. Failure to comply with the application and maintenance guidelines, filter replacement schedules,
monitoring recommendations and safety guidelines contained herein and in other relevant product
safety literature (i.e., Material Safety Data Sheets) provided with the substances and equipment
producing the fumes to be extracted could result in risk of serious injury, fire or explosion.
5. Do not attempt to take out or replace filters while the machine is running. The internals of the machine
can reach very high voltage. There are also moving parts that can be very dangerous. Only
experienced personnel should perform routine checks and maintenance.

It's a fact ... unsafe particulates and gases in the workplace result in increased
absenteeism, employee turnover, worker's compensation claims and lost
productivity. Why depend on costly centralized air handling systems to purify the
air when you can do so at the source? PACE's Arm-Evac 150
hazardous fumes locally and is suitable for benchtop soldering and electronic
rework applications including handheld machining operations and light, limited use
of solvents, adhesives, etc. The system represents the latest technology in
affordable fume extraction and features:
