Preventing Electric Shock
• This machine uses electrical power at common commercially available voltages.
When directly contacted, such voltages are hazardous to human life. All precautions
commonly applicable to the use of electric power generally are applicable to the
use of this machine.
• This machine is designed to operate from three-wire power systems where one of the
wires is a safety ground. DO NOT disconnect the safety ground or use extension cords
or “cheater” plugs to connect this machine to a two-wire system. Operation without a
safety ground may result in a hazardous electrical shock.
• Check the current and voltage rating of your machine. Extension cords must be prop
erly sized and rated for voltage, current and length. Check your local electrical code for
the correct gauge extension cord. If an extension cord shows signs of wear or gets
warm to the touch, discontinue its use and obtain a cord with a higher current rating.
Improper extension cords are not only hazardous, but may result in poor machine
performance due to excessive voltage drop.
• Never use any machine that shows signs of improper use. Even slight damage may be
an indication of a major problem. If the machine looks questionable, use it only under
strict observation. If the machine shows any unusual behavior, disconnect machine
immediately from power and send machine to a Service Center for repair.
• Disconnect unit from power source before servicing and when not in use.
Preventing Burns and Fire
• During the warm-up phase and during operations, people should not stand within
three feet (one meter) of the front of the machine. Flammable material like paper,
fabric, etc., should never be placed directly on or around this equipment, or any other
electrical device with a heating element.
• The fog should be blown into an open space and should not be directed at people
or objects. Never blow fog on hot surfaces, into glowing heating elements or into open
flames. The normally non-flammable and non-toxic fog could react on very hot
surfaces and be burnt or decomposed.
• Do not operate the machine in a tightly confined space where the ambient tempera-
ture might exceed 135° F (57° C). A continuous flow of air is required to maintain
temperature within the machine housing. Sensitive electronic components deterio-
rate rapidly under high heat conditions. Operation of the machine in an enclosure of
less than ten cubic feet (one cubic meter) is dangerous, and automatically voids
the warranty.
• Enclosing any heating device so it is invisible to the operator creates a potential
fire hazard, no matter what the ambient temperature of the enclosure. To do
so with any high-amperage device is to assume substantial risk. Rosco strongly
recommends against it.
