Chapter One: Safety and Warranty
1.1 Safety Warnings
We would like to stress the importance of the following points, for reasons of your
personal safety, product longevity and product liability.
Do not use the amplifier in or near wet locations
Do not store the amplifier in damp or wet locations
Do not operate the Amplifier on voltages other than those designated on the rear panel of
the amplifier.
Do not open the panels of the amplifier. No user serviceable parts inside.
Your Hagen operates on very high internal voltages, which may still be present after the
Amplifier has been turned off and disconnected for a while.
Do not use the Amplifier for anything other than its design purpose: To Amplify Electric
Guitar Signals!
Do not use fuses other than those intended and specified for the amplifier
Do not use 2-conductor extension cords or anything other than 3-pole g rounded outlets for
this Appliance. Your life may depend on it!
Please observe the following points when transporting your Hagen:
Hagen is a Tube Powered Amplifier; therefore it is sensitive to shock, especially after
playing the amplifier for a while. Please store and transport your amplifier gently, and try
and avoid temperature extremes in storage, which might cause condensation resulting in
moisture on internal components. Usually a 60 Minute acclimatization period is sufficient to
ensure safe operation.
The Amplifier should be stored in a controlled environment, and it should be transported in
a suitable flight case. Make sure the Amplifier gets transported in its normal operating
position, not upside down or on its side.
The Hagen’s Design incorporates a very potent power amplifier. It is configured to deliver
satisfying guitar tone at most volume levels, from a small bedroom to a large arena. In its
normal operational volume level (75-80dB) it will provide beautiful tones with very little
coloration. For reasons of your own personal health, please do not run the amplifier above
these levels for extended periods of time without wearing hearing protection. Hearing Loss
is a long -term problem, and is normally not curable.
