SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
READ BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING THE EQUIPMENT
Our systems have been designed to assure maximum operator safety.
However, no design can completely protect against improper usage. For
maximum safety and equipment protection, observe the following warnings
at all times and read all applicable instruction manuals carefully before you
attempt to operate any equipment.
– The equipment has safety devices that require both hands to be on the
palm buttons until the horn contacts the work piece. Do not defeat or
modify these safety devices.
– Do not use with foot switch or other means of actuation unless alternate
means of pinch-point protection is provided.
– High voltage is present in the equipment. Disconnect plug before
removing cover or servicing.
– Make sure equipment is properly grounded with a 3-prong plug. Before
plugging in equipment, test outlet for proper earth grounding.
– High voltage potential may be present in the converter as a result of
temperature changes. Do not touch the converter contact unless you first
short both pins or the button to the converter case with an insulated tool.
– Never squeeze or grab a vibrating horn.
– Do not modify horn configurations.
– 20 kHz ultrasonic welders operate above normal audibility for most
people. Ear protection is recommended.
– Do not affix any device to any portion of the horn.
