3.1 Setting up the compressor
The space in which the compressor is operated must satisfy certain conditions [see: During
operation, page 37]. Also note the following warnings before setting the compressor up:
WARNING
Risk of fire due to a short circuit
A short circuit in the compressor can cause a fire. In order to reduce the risk of fire in
such an event, follow the instructions below:
• Do not operate the compressor close to easily flammable objects such as curtains,
tablecloths, or paper.
• Do not operate the compressor in areas where there is a risk of explosion or in the
presence of gases promoting combustion (e.g. oxygen, nitrous oxide, flammable anaes-
thetics).
CAUTION
Impairment to quality of treatment caused by electromagnetic interference
Electrical devices can cause electromagnetic interference. Interference can impair the
function of the devices and thus also the effectiveness of the treatment.
• Do not place the device immediately beside or on top of other devices.
• Keep it at a minimum distance of 30 cm from portable wireless communication devices
(including their accessories, such as antenna cables or external antennas).
• If the device must be operated immediately beside or on top of other devices, then all
devices must be monitored to ensure that they are working properly.
CAUTION
Danger of injury from falling compressor
A compressor placed in a poor position poses a risk of injury.
• Do not place the compressor above head height.
• Make sure that it cannot be pulled down by the power cord or the connection tube.
• Do not place the compressor on a soft surface such as a sofa, a bed or a tablecloth.
NOTE
Danger of device fault caused by dust
If the compressor is operated in a very dusty atmosphere, dust may collect inside the
housing. This may cause a fault in the device.
• Do not operate the compressor on the floor, under the bed or in workshops.
• Operate the compressor only in a low-dust environment.
