flammable, explosive or toxic vapours are given off.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Always stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating the CVAC. Do not use the CVAC while you are tired or under the
influence of medication, drugs or alcohol. A moment of inattention can
result in personal injury.

GENERAL MACHINE USE AND CARE
1. Prior to use, all users should become familiar with this instruction booklet.
2. Always maintain the CVAC with care and keep it clean for best / safest
performance.
