Safety
The following are safety precautions that personnel must understand and
follow when using or servicing PACE products.
1. POTENTIAL SHOCK HAZARD - Repair procedures on PACE
products should be performed by Qualified Service Personnel only.
Line voltage parts may be exposed when the equipment is
disassembled. Service personnel must avoid contact with these
parts when troubleshooting the product.
2. To prevent personnel injury, adhere to safety guidelines in
accordance with OSHA and other applicable safety standards.
3. Always use PACE systems in a well ventilated area. A fume
extraction system, such as those available from PACE, is highly
recommended to help protect personnel from solder flux fumes.
4. Exercise proper precautions when using chemicals (e.g., solder
paste). Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) supplied
with each chemical and adhere to all safety precautions
recommended by the manufacturer.
5. The following safety precautions cover use of PACE hot air
systems/hand pieces (e.g., ThermoFlo®, ThermoJet®).
a) Be careful when using in places where there are combustible
materials.
b) Do not use in the presence of an explosive atmosphere.
c) A fire may arise if a hot air hand piece is not used with care.
Do not leave the hand piece unattended when in use.
d) The heater assembly housing and any installed nozzle are
hot when the system is being cycled and for a period of time
thereafter. DO NOT touch either the heater assembly
housing, nozzle or direct heated air stream. Severe burns
may result!
