Default Fan warning not to use for fumes????

I just invested in a Ostberg CK12C inline fan, 12" connection and 954 cfm. Just buying ducting and about to put it all together.

Then I read the 2-page mini-manual. It says:

CAUTION! FOR GENERAL VENTILATION USE ONLY. DO NOT USE TO EXHAUST HAZARDOUS
OR EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS AND VAPORS.
• The fan is used for transportation of ”clean” air,
meaning not intended for fire-dangerous substances,
explosives, grinding dust, soot, etc.

NO FREAKIN' WAY.

Dale, or somebody... please reassure me that it will still work fine anyways...!

I mean, I followed the guidelines, it is inline, high cfms, works outdoors as well as indoors, low-maintenance... why would it state this??
