Requirements For Safe Operation - ABATEMENT PAS1200 Instruction Manual

5. The PAS1200 should be connected to a three-prong, properly grounded electrical outlet equipped
with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt (GFCI) device. A GFCI is an electrical safety device that will trip
the circuit and stop the flow of electricity if leakage of current is detected.
Important Note: The GFCI on the PAS1200 control panel only detects leakage of current
from the unit or an electrical device plugged into the GFCI. The PAS1200 should be
plugged into a GFCI receptacle at the power source to protect the power cord and the unit.
This GFCI will trip the circuit if it detects leakage of current from the power cord or unit.
6. To avoid personal injury, fire hazards and/or damage to the PAS1200 electrical system and power
cord, do not connect or disconnect the power cord to an electrical outlet unless the motorized
impeller is "OFF".

REQUIREMENTS FOR SAFE OPERATION

1. Never allow unauthorized individuals or children to operate the unit at any time.
2. Abatement Technologies urges anyone operating the PAS1200 to wear the proper personal protective
equipment and follow safe work practices in accordance with federal, state, provincial and employer
regulations.
3. Check the condition of power cord(s) before using them. Damaged cords can cause fatal electric
shock and/or motorized impeller failure.
4. Power cord(s) should never be exposed to water, heat, sharp, or abrasive objects; in addition, they
should never be kinked or crushed. Avoid tightly wrapping the cords to prevent kinking of the internal
wires. Always replace damaged power cords immediately.
5. Never pull the unit by the power cord.
6. Avoid running over power cords with utility equipment and vehicles.
Important Safety Instructions
a. Do not operate any unit with a damaged cord or plug. Discard unit or return it to an
authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.
b. Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar
coverings. Do not route cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange cord away from
traffic area and where it will not be tripped over.
Caution: As with any piece of electrical equipment, always make sure that the unit is turned "OFF"
prior to connecting the power cord to an electrical outlet or disconnecting it from an electrical outlet.
Failure to do so will cause "arcing", and could result in personal injury, fire hazards and/or damage to
the unit. Do not disconnect the power cord from supply receptacle while the unit is operating.
Warning: To reduce risk of electrical shock, do not expose this unit to water or rain. Do not touch
the electrical outlet or power cord(s) with wet hands or while standing on a wet or damp surface.
Warning: Risk of electrical shock! Can cause injury or death! Turn unit "OFF" and disconnect
power cord from supply receptacle before replacing the HEPA filter and before cleaning or
servicing the unit.
Warning: The PAS1200 is equipped with an automatic restart motorized impeller that will restart
without warning after a temporary power interruption or recovery from a thermal overload (over-
heating) condition. Keep clear of the motorized impeller at all times to reduce the risk of injury.
Warning: To reduce risk of fire or electrical shock, do not use the PAS1200 with any solid state
speed control device. Do not use in a cooking area.
Caution: The PAS1200 is designed for indoor use only.
CAUTION: For General Ventilating Use Only. Do Not Use To Exhaust Hazardous Or Explosive
Materials And Vapors.
