4 Safety information
•
Do not remove the covers or attempt to repair a faulty machine. Refer
any service not described in this manual to Martin.
•
Do not operate the machine if any parts are damaged, defective or
missing.
•
Moisture and electricity do not mix. Do not aim smoke output at
electrical connections or devices.
Preventing burns and fire
• The smoke produced by the machine is hot enough to cause burns
when it leaves the nozzle, and very hot droplets of fluid escape
occasionally. Keep people and objects at least 1 meter (39 inches) away
from the smoke output nozzle.
• Do not touch the smoke output nozzle during or after use – it becomes
extremely hot and remain hot for several hours after the machine has
been shut down.
• Smoke output contains glycol, a flammable alcohol that burns with an
almost invisible blue flame. Do not point smoke output at sources of
ignition such as open flames or pyrotechnic effects.
• Do not attempt to bypass thermostatic switches, fluid sensors or fuses.
•
Replace fuses only with ones of the type and rating specified in this
manual for the machine.
•
Provide a minimum free space of 100mm (4 inches) around the
machine.
•
Provide a minimum free space of 500mm (20 inches) around fans and
air vents and ensure free and unobstructed air flow to and around the
machine.
•
Keep the machine at least 600mm (24 inches) away from combustible
and heat-sensitive materials.
•
Do not operate the machine if the ambient temperature (Ta) is below 5°
C (41° F) or above 40° C (104° F).
•
Do not operate the machine if the relative air humidity exceeds 80%.
Preventing injuries
•
Ensure that the surface on which the machine is located or installed can
safely hold the weight of the machine.
•
Do not install the machine over areas where people are present.
•
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
•
Smoke machines can cause condensation. Do not point the output at
smooth floors. Floors and surfaces may become slippery. Check these
frequently and wipe dry as necessary to avoid any danger of slipping.
• Ensure at least 2m visibility in areas where smoke is being produced.
• Smoke fluid contains food-grade glycols in solution but may present
health risks if swallowed. Do not drink it. Store it securely. If eye contact
occurs, rinse with water. If fluid is swallowed, give water and obtain
medical advice.
