SERIAL NUMBER PLATE
The FB45 is an air mover device which, using a fan, creates a ow
of air heated by an electric resistance inside it, and is capable of
drying oors, carpets, etc. The device should only be used for this
purpose.

Operator cooperation is paramount for accident prevention. No
accident prevention programme can be effective without the full
co-operation of the operator who is directly responsible for machine
operation. The majority of occupational accidents that happen both
in the workplace or whilst moving are caused by failure to respect
The serial number plate is located on the rear part of the device,
indicating its general characteristics (in particular, the serial number).
The serial number is a very important piece of information and should
always be provided together with any request for assistance or when
