System Electrical Cabling
- Electrical power must be
off when connecting or disconnecting electrical cables.
Do Not Wear Loose Clothing or Jewelry
- They can
become caught in moving parts.
Stay Alert
- Watch what you are doing at all times. Use
common sense. Do not operate the press when you are
tired or distracted from the job at hand.
Do Not Operate the Equipment
- Your judgement or
reflexes could be impaired while taking prescription medi

with warning labels and recommended activity restrictions
that accompany your prescription medications. If you have
any doubt, do not operate the equipment.
General Considerations
Plastics Health Notice
Certain plastic materials, when being processed, may
emit fumes and/or gases that may be hazardous to the
operator’s health. Proper ventilation of the work station
should be provided where such materials are processed.
Inquiries should be made to the U.S. Department of Labor
concerning OSHA regulations for a particular plastic prior
to processing with Dukane ultrasonic equipment
.
Electrical Safety
The
iQ Series
generator
provides the operating power
and power returns. Make sure the generator is grounded
properly.
In addition to the safety considerations, proper grounding
is essential for the effective suppression of RFI (Radio
Frequency Interference). Every generator contains a RFI
filter which blocks noise on the AC power line from enter
-
ing the generator control circuitry. This filter also prevents
ultrasonic RFI from being fed back into the AC power line.
Always connect the included ground wire from the PE
ground of the generator to the nearest grounded metal pipe
or equivalent earth ground by means of a ground clamp.

vibrating, descending horn
can cause burns and/or
crushing injuries.

and frequencies.
CAUTION
CAUTION
When making cable connec-
tions to system equipment or
disconnecting cables from
system equipment, make sure
electrical power to the system
is turned off, and AC power
cords are removed from their
receptacles. After the cables
have been securely connected
and the connections and cable
routing checked a final time,
the power may be restored.
