This machine is designed for use in normal outdoor atmospheric conditions. It should not be used
in an enclosed area without adequate ventilation. Do not use the machine in a potentially explosive
atmosphere, i.e., combustible vapors, gas, or dust. Failure to follow this warning may result in
injury or death to personnel.
