3.3 During use
3.3.1 Adjusting the flow rate
If necessary (e. g. during increased physical exertion), the flow
rate must be adjusted during operation using the and
buttons.
3.3.2 Warnings and alarms
If a warning appears, leave the working area promptly in view
of the potentially hazardous situation.
Lower the flow rate to increase the period of service if a
warning appears. (Only possible if the lowest level has not
already been chosen.) By lowering the flow rate you can e.g.
extend the battery runtime.
If an alarm is triggered, leave the working area immediately
without any delay.
Check the function of the device after a warning or alarm has
been triggered (see section 4 on page 11).
3.4 After use
Do the following:
1. Leave the hazardous area.
2. Remove the respiratory inlet covering (see Instructions for
Use of the corresponding respiratory inlet covering).
WARNING
Health hazard!
Leave the danger zone immediately in case of:
Decreasing or interrupted air supply (e.g. after
blower failure)
In the hood/helmet/protective visor respiratory inlet
covering type, carbon dioxide can quickly build up
or lack of oxygen may occur. Noxious ambient air
may also penetrate the hood.
Odour or taste developing in the respiratory inlet
covering (filter break). The residual capacity of the
chemical cartridge or the chemical cartridge
components of the combination filter are exhausted.
(replace respiratory filter see section 5.3.3 on page 13).
Drowsiness, dizziness, or other complaints
Damage to the equipment
Displayed alarms(see section 4 on page 11)
Breathing hoses or other components involve the risk
of getting caught. This may damage the device and
interrupt the air supply!
Handle the device with care.
Breathing in during heavy work while wearing the
hood/helmet/protective visor respiratory inlet covering
type may result in negative pressure and the
penetration of unfiltered ambient air!
Increase the flow rate to prevent this from happening.
