Fundamental risks

The following section addresses the residual risks that may arise, even if the system is
used properly. Observance of the safety information included below and in other
sections of these instructions is mandatory in order to reduce the risk of injury and
GB
damage to property and to avoid dangerous situations.
Gases
Oil and grease
Connecting external appliances
DANGER!
Gases can be life threatening!
Gases can displace the oxygen in air. This
can result in death by asphyxiation. Gases can
be toxic and cause death if inhaled. Oxygen
can contribute to fires or explosions.
Therefore:
• Sufficient ventilation is absolutely essential.
• Observe safety data sheets for the medium in
use.
• Use a gas monitoring system when working
with hazardous gases.
• When working with hazardous gases, wear
appropriate protective equipment.
• The manufacturer's written permission must
be obtained before using Tescom valves for
oxygen applications.
• Ensure that you do not clog vents and in
the case of fittings and equipment with bleed
valves, ensure toxic gases are discharged
appropriately.
WARNING!
Risk of injury from using oil and grease!
Oil and grease must never be used in gas
regulating systems. Oil and grease are highly
inflammable and can react violently to certain
pressurised gases.
Therefore:
• Never use oil and grease.
WARNING!
Risk of injury resulting from missing guards!
Special safety equipment must be used on
appliances that are connected to the pressure
regulator to ensure that no dangerous pressure
can accumulate inside them. The pressure relief
valve on the pressure regulator is not suitable for
protecting these appliances.
