PRO STUDIO FLASH KIT

Important Safety Instructions

To prevent damage to the flash or modeling lamp or injury to you or to others, read the following safety 
precautions in their entirety before using the flash.

1

Read and understand all instructions before using.

2

Keep these instructions.

3

Do not disassemble or modify the flash. There are high-voltage components inside the flash. Failure to observe 
this precaution could result in electric shock or product malfunction. If the flash or lamp tube breaks open as 
the result of a fall or other accident, do not use the flash. Consult a qualified repair technician.

4

Keep dry. Do not handle with wet hands or immerse in or expose to water or rain. Failure to observe this 
precaution could result in fire or electric shock.

5

Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Do not leave the appliance 
unattended while in use.

6

Keep out of the reach of children. The flash and modeling lamp contain small parts that may pose a choking 
hazard. Consult a physician immediately if a child swallows any part.

7

Do not expose to high temperatures. Do not leave the flash or modeling lamp in a closed vehicle under the sun 
or in other areas subject to extremely high temperature. Failure to observe this precaution could result in fire or 
damage to the housing or internal parts.

8

Do not operate the appliance with a damaged cord or if the appliance has been dropped or damaged until it 
has been examined by a qualified serviceman.

9

Position the power cord and sync cable so that they will not be tripped over, pulled, or contact hot surfaces.

10

If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating at least equal to that of the appliance should be 
used. Cords rated for less amperage than the appliance may overheat.

11

Always unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet before cleaning or servicing and when not in use. Never 
yank the cord to pull the plug from the outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.

12

Connect the appliance to a grounded outlet.

13

Disconnect this unit from its source of supply before replacing the projection lamp.

14

The power cord has a grounded connector. Always connect the plug to a grounded outlet. Do not defeat the 
ground pin with adapters or other accessories.

15

Turn off the flash or modeling lamp immediately if they work abnormally and consult a qualified repair 
technician to determine the cause.

16

Avoid sudden impacts because they can damage the flash or modeling lamp. 

17

Dedust the flash regularly.

18

Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching hot parts.

19

The flash head gets hot when in use. Avoid continuous flashes when not necessary. Avoid touching the flash 
head when the flash is in use.

20

Disconnect the power when the flash will not be used for an extended period or when doing maintenance work 
or cleaning.

21

Overheating occurs if you use the flash continuously without cooling down. We advise that you cool down the 
flash for a while after 30 continuous full-power flashes.

22

Turn off the modeling lamp when not in use. Make sure that flammable materials and the softbox cover never 
come in close proximity or in contact with the modeling lamp or the flash tube.

23

Do not touch the lamp reflector because it can get hot during operation of the modeling lamp or flash.

24

Never touch the exposed lamp or flash terminals. Always unplug the power cord and let the lamps cool down 
before replacing. Wear insulating gloves when replacing the lamps.

25

Do not flash directly towards naked eyes (especially those of children). Doing so may lead to visual impairment.
