!!! Read these safety precautions before continuing !!!
ALL
tube amplifiers contain
LETHAL VOLTAGES,
often several hundred volts which
WILL
leave burnt entrance and exit wounds in skin. These voltages have the potential to cause
permanent physical damage and death
. These voltages are present when the amp is
turned on and also for some time after the amp has been turned off.
You can still get
shocked with a tube amp turned off and disconnected from AC power.
The above statement is a bit scary, but we want to stress that every piece of electronic
equipment must be treated with respect. When AC power is applied, there is always a chance
for injury or death. With tube amps, even when the AC power is not applied there is still
danger. Being shocked with high voltage is very painful and we do not want anyone finding
out the hard way.
When building this kit, we want your experiences to be both enjoyable and safe. There are
more kits to assemble and we want you to enjoy building and playing them all.
Throughout this manual at key points in the construction, we have annotated important
steps with the below alerts. For your safety and to improve construction quality, It is important
that you become familiar with each of these alerts and adhere to any safety recommendations
when they appear.
