B
Warning
Check the
capacity
Please prepare the following:
Single-phase 100 V, 1.2 A or more (50/60Hz)
Smaller power supply capacity may cause the breaker to trip due to
overcurrent during the operation.
Do not share
For the primary power supply, a single power supply should be
provided for the device, and other equipment should not be
connected with it.
Breaker capacity shortage may cause the breaker to trip due to
overcurrent during the operation.
Check the cable
capacity
Avoid using an extension cable. However, if it must be
used by necessity, use the following cable.
For 100-V power supply: 1.25 mm2or more
If a thinner cable is used, this may cause overheating, ignition, or fire.
Avoid electrical
shock
Do not remove the panels and cover with handle.
When they must be removed, turn the POWER OFF and
disconnect the primary side cable from the socket before
removing the covers or panel.
Otherwise, the operator may suffer electrical shock.
Avoid this action
Do not use with the primary side cable bundled up. In
addition, do not place any objects on the cable.
Otherwise, such action may cause electrical shock or fire.
Check the
ground
Connect the primary side cable to a grounded outlet. If
using a plug adapter, securely connect to ground.
There is a risk of electrical shock when damaged or if there is a short
circuit.
Power Supply

C
Warning
Avoid this action
This product does not have explosion-proof design, and
thus use in environments where inflammable substances
are present should be avoided.
Otherwise, explosion could occur, causing fire and burns.
Avoid this action
The pump is extremely hot during operation. Do not place
flammable objects around it.
This can cause fire.
Ventilate
Gases aspirated by this device are released into the air
(indoors for example) through the exhaust outlet on the
rear of the device. Some aspirated gases may release
toxic substances, so exercise appropriate caution.
Otherwise, oil spread may contaminate the room or affect human
health.
Caution
Ventilate
Pump is heated during operation.
Room temperature rises.
Warning
Check the
environment
Install the equipment where the following conditions are
satisfied.
1) Flat surface

3) Well-ventilated place
4) Place without direct sunlight
5) Room with temperatures between 7°C and 30°C.
6) Location where there is no risk of fire
7) Place without electrical noises, which may cause
adverse effect to the product.
Otherwise, operation failure or durability degradation may occur.

D
Caution
Avoid this action
Do not aspirate substances which are unsuitable for nitrile
rubber.
(liquid/hydrogen sulfide/acetone/lacquer/
acetaldehyde/Freon gas/ammonia)
These solvents are unsuitable for the diaphragm material (nitrile
rubber) of diaphragm type dry vacuum pumps.
Using these substances can drastically reduce the durability of the
device.
Open exhaust
outlet
Make sure the exhaust outlet is open.
Take care to ensure there is no back pressure when connecting
tubing.
Danger
Avoid this action
This product is not a medical remedy apparatus.
Please do not use this product for human organism to
become failure and the cause of the accident.

(2) Product Overview
1. Purpose of This Product and Actions that are Prohibited
This device is a portable aspirator equipped with a diaphragm type vacuum pump.
This is different from a water aspirator in that the ultimate pressure it can reach is
not affected by tap water pressure or temperature and can be used even in
locations with no tap water source.
This also helps save on tap water and allows for stable ultimate pressure to be
maintained at low pressure.
To safely and correctly use this product, avoid the following actions that are prohibited.
- Please do not do the resale of this device and acidolysis and reshuffle.
- This product is not a medical remedy apparatus. Please do not use this
product for human organism to become failure and the cause of the
accident.
