If Safe Heat is checked, Heat values are compared to Ramp. The following error messages
can occur; follow the instructions in corresponding error message to correct the problem.
Ramp = 0 - unable to Heat Check. Press Ramp or uncheck Safe Heat (at your own
risk)
Line x Heat > Ramp + 15%. Filament may burn out. Reduce Heat or run Ramp
Test or uncheck Safe Heat
(at your risk)
Line x Heat < Ramp - 15%. Jaws may overheat. Increase Heat or run Ramp Test
or uncheck Safe Heat
(at your risk)
