SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Symbols used Danger Refers to an immediately impending danger. If the danger is not avoided, it could result in death or severe (crippling) injury. Warning Refers to a possibly dangerous situation. If it is not avoided, it could result in death or severe injury Caution Refers to a possibly harmful situation.
INSTALLATION The need for fume extraction Soldering activities take many forms, but in most operations flux must be used to clean the component surfaces and help the molten solder to flow. This helps to ensure a good mechanical/electrical joint between the components. The temperature required to melt the solder causes the flux to vaporise, producing solder fume.

Please note that the carbon media within the combined filter or Gas filter is hygroscopic and will absorb moisture from the atmosphere.
