Health Support Equipment
The Spirit200a system creates electric and magnetic fields that may
interfere with certain types of health support equipment, such as
pacemakers. Any person who uses a pacemaker or similar item should
consult a doctor before operating, observing, maintaining, or servicing the
Spirit system. Observe the following guidelines to minimize exposure to
these electric and magnetic fields:
•
Stay as far away from the Spirit power supply, torch, torch leads, and
remote high frequency console as possible.
•
Route the torch leads as close as possible to the work ground cable.
•
Never place your body between the torch leads and work ground
cable. Keep the work ground cable and the torch leads on the same
side of your body.
•
Never stand in the center of a coiled up set of torch leads or work
ground cable.
