Safety Precautions
Although the laboratory hood has
been engineered to maintain
optimum operator safety, caution
should always be used while
working in the hood. Prior to
using the hood, check to make sure
that the exhaust blower is
operating and that air is entering
the hood at its specified face
velocity.
USE GOOD HOUSEKEEPING IN
THE HOOD AT ALL TIMES.
CLEAN UP SPILLS
IMMEDIATELY.
PERIODICALLY CLEAN HOOD
INTERIOR, INCLUDING LIGHT
GLASS PANEL. REPLACE
BURNED OUT LIGHT BULBS TO
MAINTAIN MAXIMUM
ILLUMINATION.
DO NOT OVERLOAD THE WORK
SURFACE WITH APPARATUS
OR WORK MATERIAL. THE
SAFE OPERATION OF THE
LABORATORY HOOD IS BASED
UPON HAVING PROPER
AIRFLOW THROUGH THE
STRUCTURE. DO NOT PLACE
LARGE, BULKY OBJECTS SUCH
AS BLOCK HEATERS,
DIRECTLY ON THE HOOD
WORK SURFACE. INSTEAD,
ELEVATE THE OBJECT 2" TO 3"
ON BLOCKS TO ALLOW A
FLOW OF AIR UNDER THE
OBJECT AND INTO THE LOWER
REAR BAFFLE EXHAUST SLOT.
ENSURE BLOCKS ARE LEVEL
AND SECURED IN PLACE.
