1.2 General Precautions
Observe the following safety considerations when operating the LPX Power Supply:
1.2.1 Intended Use of the System
The LPX Power Supply can be used in conjunction with a Portable Hand Held Tool, as well
as ultrasonic stacks with standard and knurled horns and tips, spot welding tips, and
cutting blades to accomplish a wide variety of plastic and textile cutting and joining
processes.
1.2.2 Emissions
When being processed, certain plastic materials can emit toxic fumes, gases or other
emissions that can be hazardous to the operator’s health. Where such materials are
processed, proper ventilation of the workstation is required. Check your materials
suppliers for recommended protection when processing their materials.
CAUTION General Warning
• Make sure that the equipment is properly grounded. DO NOT operate if it
is not.
• Units are equipped with a three-conductor cord, and must be plugged into
a three-prong grounding-type wall receptacle. DO NOT under any
circumstances remove the power cord ground prong.
• DO NOT operate the equipment with the cover removed. High voltage is
present within the equipment.
• DO NOT turn on ultrasonics without the converter and horn attached.
• DO NOT cycle the welding system if either the RF cable or converter is
disconnected.
• DO NOT touch the horn or tip when ultrasonics are active. When
handling, removing, or attaching a horn or tip, be sure that the ON/OFF
switch on the back of the unit is set to OFF. See
. Touching the horn or tip
while the unit is on can result in serious personal injury (frictional burn).
• DO NOT position the equipment so that it is difficult to operate the ON/
OFF switch.
WARNING Corrosive Material Hazard
Processing of many materials, such as PVC, can be hazardous to an
operator’s health and could cause corrosion/damage to the
equipment. Use proper ventilation and take protective measures.
