CAUTION: Xenon compact arc lamps are highly pressurized. When ignited, the normal operating temperature
of the bulb increases the pressure to a level at which the bulb may explode if not handled in strict accordan ce
to the m anufacturer ’s instructions. The bulb is stable at room te
mperature, but ma y s till explode if dropped o r
otherwise mishandled. Whenever the lamp house, containing a xenon lamp, has to be dism antled or when ever
the protective container or clo th has to be removed from the xenon lamp, authorized protective clothing MUST
be wor n!
