similarly qualied person to avoid a hazard.

 Do not use this product in areas where aerosol spray products are being used or where oxygen is being adminis-

tered. Such substances create the danger of combustion and explosion.

 Always follow the console instructions for proper operation.

pabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
