children's fingers,
to use the device in rooms in which explosive
gases can occur if the S
_200 is not expressly intended for this
purpose,
to extract, to deliver and to compress
explosive, flammable, corrosive or toxic fluids,
unless the S
_200 is specifically designed for this purpose,
to operate the L-BL2 with values other than
those specified in Chapter 3, "Technical
Data", Pg. 8 ff.
Any unauthorised modifications of the L-BL2 are
prohibited for safety reasons.
