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 
  properly 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.
