Basic Safety Instructions
Safety Hints Pertaining to Emitted Optical Radiation
Electrical power is changed inside the flash tube to intensive optical
radiation:
Do not flash directly into eyes from a short distance because the
emitted intensive optical radiation can cause eye and skin damage.
Do not look directly into flash reflector; the flash may be
accidentally triggered.
In case of damage to skin or eyes caused by intensive optical
radiation consult a physician immediately.
Working in Potentially Explosive Rooms
Working in potentially explosive rooms and environments is prohibited
because small sparks develop upon triggering the flash.
Never work in potentially explosive environments.
Do not work near flammable material.
Do not store flammable material in direct vicinity of flash generators
and flash lamps to avoid fire hazards.
Ozone Formation
Closed rooms must be ventilated frequently to prevent excessive ozone
formation which can result from to the use of strong flash units.
Protecting Equipment from Moisture and Splash Water
Flash units need to be protected from high humidity, moisture, wetness
and splash water. Therefore, please do not place containers with liquids
on the flash units.
Take care that neither the flash unit nor the flash or mains cable is lying
on a wet floor.
