Hensel-Visit GmbH & Co. KG



In case the flash tube explodes, there is a danger of tiny glass
particles flying around. The user of this equipment needs to make
sure to protect himself by the use a safety glass dome.



The flash tube can only explode during the flash process.
Therefore, the flash head should never be directed at a person
during flashing.



Immediately disconnect the flash head from the generator if the
flash tube becomes damaged. Electrodes carry high voltage!



Flash tubes must only be changed by authorized and trained
personnel.



The flash tube must only be changed after the device is
disconnected from the power supply and is completely discharged.

Risk of Burns from Reflector and Flash Unit

After flashing there is a risk of burns caused by the reflector and the flash
unit due to hot parts on the housing or infrared heat radiation.
