1. Safety precautions
1.
Do not touch the modelling lamp with your bare hands. It could lead to an oily fingerprints which
reduce the lamp lifetime, or it could result in an explosion and endanger your health. Always use textile
gloves or a piece of cloth for inserting or removing the modelling lamp. The device must be turned
off by the Power switch (no. 10, page 3) while changing the modelling lamp. There is a danger of
electrical injury or burns if the device is not turned off.
2.
Keep the device away from children. This device is for professional photography, therefore it should be
only used by a person who knows studio photography.
3.
Keep the device away from water. It is not waterproof or water resistant.
4.
Be careful when changing accessories (reflectors, snoot reflectors, soft boxes and others). Accessory
can be hot because of the modelling lamp and you can burn yourself. Leave the accessory on the
device until it cools down, then you can remove it.
5.
Keep the plastic cover on the device during transport because of the possibility of breaking the
modelling lamp and flash lamp. This can lead to an injury.
6.
Be careful when using a snoot reflector with the modelling lamp turned on. Snoot reflector is an
accessory which causes bad ventilation and this can lead to fire or the device and snoot reflector can
be damaged.
7.
Be careful when using reflector with barn doors and plastic colour filters. Not all the plastic filters are
heat-resistant. The filters can be burnt and hurt you or damage your studio equipment.
8.
When you are done with photographing always turn the device off (button no. 10) and unplug the power
cable. This protects the device from voltage fluctuations which can damage the device or cause fire.
9.
In case of malfunction, always contact the professional Fomei service.
