DANGER
To reduce the risk of fire, burns, or injury to persons:
Oxygen, though non-flammable, vigorously supports and accelerates
burning of any flammable material. If you know or suspect oxygen
has escaped other than through normal operation, open doors and
windows to ventilate the area.
1.DO NOT SMOKE WHILE USING YOUR DEVILBISS OXYGEN EQUIPMENT.
Keep matches, cigarettes, burning tobacco, or candles away from the
area where the system is being stored or operated.
2.Avoid creation of any spark near oxygen equipment. This includes
sparks from static electricity created by any type of friction.
3.Keep the equipment at least seven feet away from radios, television
sets, window air conditioners, fans, electric razors, hair dryers, and all
other electrical appliances.
4.Keep the equipment away from heat sources, electric or gas heaters of
any kind, fireplaces, or stoves.
5.Keep all flammable materials or petroleum-based products away from
the equipment.
6.Never attempt to lubricate the equipment.
7.Never use aerosol sprays near the equipment.
To prevent high concentrations of oxygen:
1.Keep the equipment in a well-ventilated area.
2.Do not carry equipment under a coat or any form of clothing.
3.Turn off oxygen supply by closing the cylinder valve when not in use.
