  • Page 21 Chapter 4: High Performance Features and Safety Precautions 1. Aerodynamic Clean-Sweep™ Air Foil has a unique low profile shape that allows air to sweep the work surface for maximum containment. The Clean-Sweep™ openings create a constant protective barrier from contaminants. In addition, should the operator inadvertently block the airflow entering the air foil, air continues to pass under the air foil and through the Clean-Sweep openings.
