Cautions
All models should be protected from the
following,
! EMF (electro-magnetic fields) from arc
welders, induction heaters
! Static electricity
! Thermal shock (caused by large or abrupt
ambient temperature changes—allow 30
minutes for unit to stabilize before use)
! Do not leave the unit on or near objects of
high temperature
