 During work, use personal protective equipment, including eye protection,
protective gloves, clothing and footwear.
 Never stand by or look directly into any vacuum chamber without proper
protective equipment, including eye protection and clothing.
 The tempered glass lid is an inherently fragile material. As a result of a fall or
impact with sufficient force, the glass lid may break and crumble, causing splashes of its fragments. Therefore, always
wear protective clothing, in particular eye protection, during the operation and transport of the vacuum chamber or the
glass lid to prevent damage to the body and eyes. Moreover, you must not: allow mechanical damage to the glass (even a
slight scratching can cause a weak spot in the glass causing failure), allow it to fall from the work table, leave it in a place
where there is a risk of it falling or being hit by other objects.
 Some parts of the vacuum pump get very hot during operation. To prevent burns, never touch the body
and the pump motor. Be careful when changing hot oil.
 Implosion hazard. Failure to follow this user manual can result in property damage or serious injury.
 The vacuum chamber is not a pressure chamber. Do not pump the vacuum chamber, or otherwise make
the pressure inside the tank higher than atmospheric pressure, as there is a risk of a tank explosion.
 Perform servicing and maintenance of the vacuum set periodically.
 Before each use of the vacuum set, it is necessary to check its technical condition, in particular the supply cable of the
vacuum pump, as well as the technical condition of the tank and lid.
 The general rules for the use of equipment working under voltage must be observed.
 Be sure to use the product in a safe, well-ventilated area, on a flat, stable surface.
 Avoid excessive pollution of the working environment by dust, powders, small solids or water, as heavy contamination
can damage the pump.
 The user must ensure that the chemicals used by him in the intended process or when cleaning the vacuum set do not
damage the elements of the vacuum set.
 Pumps, available in the standard VacuumChmber.eu offer, are not intrinsically safe.
 The customer is solely responsible for the appropriate selection of the vacuum set for the intended purposes and
technology.
 Don not put any additional weight on the lid of the chamber. Do not set any vacuum pumps or other items that are not a
part of the vacuum system in the chamber.
 The lid must be properly placed on the tank. It is not permissible for the gasket to extend beyond the outline of the lid at
any place. This situation can lead to a sudden unsealing of the chamber.
 In the case of cracking, scratch or other lid damage immediately exclude it from use.
 In the case of cracking, abrasion or other gasket damage immediately exclude it from use.
 In the case of deformation or any other tank damage immediately exclude it from use.
 Keep hard or heavy objects away from the vacuum chamber.
 Do not apply additional forces on the chamber wall, for example by setting it on the grips, as this may cause deformation.
 Do not move or transport chambers if they are under vacuum.
 Do not assemble or disassemble individual parts of the vacuum set while the vacuum pump is operating or the vacuum
set is under vacuum.
 Never put fingers or other objects inside the pump impeller cover. Keep your hair, clothing, gloves and other objects that
could get into the impeller away from moving parts.
 Do not expose the device to rain or excessive moisture.
 Do not leave the vacuum set unattended during operation.
 Do not place live organisms in the vacuum chamber.
 Do not subject any parts of the human body to under pressure.
 Keep children, people with disabilities and animals away from the operating area of the device.
 Be foreseeable, watch what you are doing, and be reasonable when using the device. Do not use the device when you are
tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
