Safety Guidelines
The following are safety precautions that personnel must understand and follow when using or
servicing this product.
1.
POTENTIAL SHOCK HAZARD -
Repair procedures on PACE products should be
performed by Qualified Service Personnel only. Line voltage parts may be exposed
when the equipment is disassembled. Service personnel must avoid contact with these
parts when troubleshooting the product.
2. To prevent personnel injury, adhere to safety guidelines in accordance with OSHA and
other applicable safety standards.
3. SensaTemp handpiece heaters, installed tips, and heater cartridge tips are hot when the
handpiece is powered on and for a period of time after power off.
DO NOT
touch either
the heater or the tip. Severe burns may result.
4. PACE Tip & Tool Stands and handpiece cubbies are designed specifically for use with
the associated handpiece and houses it in a manner that protects the user from
accidental burns. Always store the handpiece in its holder. Be sure to place the
handpiece in its holder after use and allow for cooling before storing.
5. Always use PACE systems in a well ventilated area. A fume extraction system such as
those available from PACE are highly recommended to help protect personnel from
solder flux fumes.
6. Exercise proper precautions when using chemicals (e.g., solder paste). Refer to the Material
Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) supplied with each chemical and adhere to all safety precautions
recommended by the manufacturer.
