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.
– 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.
– Never squeeze or grab a vibrating horn.
– Do not modify horn configurations.
– Ultrasonic welders operate above normal audibility for most people. Ear
protection is recommended.
– Do not affix any device to any portion of the horn.
– Certain plastic materials, when ultrasonically welded, may emit fumes
and/or gases hazardous to an operator’s health. Where such materials are
processed, proper ventilation of the work station should be provided. If in
doubt about the toxicity of your plastic material, contact OSHA, U.S.
Department of Labor, or material supplier.
– Do not operate the power supply unless it is connected to the hand gun.
– Maintenance should be performed only by a qualified electronic technician.
– Always turn off the power supply before installing or removing the optional
foot switch cable.
– When the hand gun is on, be sure to isolate it from any grounded surface
to avoid triggering an overload condition as the system detects an alternate
ground path.
