All the Necessary Warnings
Please look over the following warnings. Some of them
are not immediately obvious, but they are important
for you to understand. For your own safety, and
to ensure the life of the plasma globe, it is very
important that you read them thoroughly.
Safety Tips
Keep your plasma globe away from any metal objects or
metal surfaces, and do not touch any grounded metal while
your hand is on an energized plasma globe!
If you do, you will
get a very startling shock. The plasma globe has a low-amperage
current, so the shock is not dangerous. It’s more like a shock of
static electricity; it will probably be unpleasant, so we suggest you
avoid it.
Remove any rings or other metallic jewelry from your hands
before handling a live plasma globe.
Do not touch your plasma
globe with metallic objects. Touching your plasma globe with
a metal object may cause an electrical arc to form at the glass
surface, which could cause small skin burns and may be a fire
hazard. Because the human nervous system is not sensitive to high
frequency currents you may not be aware that you are receiving a
skin burn until after it has happened.
Keep your plasma globes away from liquids of any kind.
If
water or any other liquid is spilled on your plasma globe, turn it off
immediately. Do not handle the plasma globe with wet hands, as this
could cause you to get shocked.
