5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
5.5 SAFETY EQUIPMENT WHEN WORKING WITH THE DEVICE
Always wear protective goggles or face mask when using the tool.
Use of the device may produce dangerous waste gases from burning paints, lubricants, sealants,
glues, etc. These gases may be toxic. Always use adequate protective masks or respirators.
Always use protective gloves with adequate thermal resistance when working with the device. The
high temperatures produced by using the tool may cause serious burns.
5.6 ELECTROMAGNETIC EFFECTS
The electromagnetic field (EMF) may affect implanted medical devices. The device is not intended
to be used by users with cardiac pacemakers or other implanted medical or surgical metallic
devices (such as replacement hips/knees etc).
While working, maintain a safe distance between body parts and the induction tip, as specified in
its instructions for use.
Short-term tissue exposure to high-intensity time-variable magnetic fields may lead to tissue
warming by the induced current.
Long-term exposure to high-intensity time-variable magnetic fields may lead to
- undesirable effects on nerve activity
- fatigue
- headaches
- blood cell production disorders
Persons with other metallic or electronic surgical implants are not allowed to work with the tool and
have to keep a safe distance of at least 1m from the device.
When working with the tool, do not wear any metal objects such as jewels, rings, watches,
necklaces, identification plates, belt buckles, piercing or clothes with metal components such as
metal rivets, buttons, zip fasteners, etc.
The device can heat these metal objects very fast and thus cause serious burns or even ignition of
clothes!
Users of these devices should consult their medical doctor before use to discuss any issues to
avoid potential troubles connected with them while handling the device.
When scheduling device maintenance you have to consider the degree and circumstances of
device use.
Considerate use and preventive maintenance help prevent needless defects and malfunctions.
Perform checks as per standards and law in force. Only workers with adequate electrical
engineering qualifications may carry out any jobs on the device.
WARNING!!
Any handling of the power supply, including maintenance, requires its disconnection from the
power supply. To prevent injuries, always disconnect the power cable and wait at least 2 minutes
before removing the casing. Discharge the capacitor circuits before any further work.
Periodic maintenance includes cleaning the device every half a year:
1. Disconnect the device plug from the socket and wait about 2 minutes (the capacitors inside
the device will discharge). Then remove the upper device casing.
2. Clean all dirty power electric connections and tighten any loose ones.
3. Clean the internal device parts (coolers in particular) to remove dust and dirt – for example
using clean compressed air, a soft brush and vacuum cleaner.
4. The upper casing has to be earthed – remember to connect the yellow-and-green earthing
wire before screwing it on.
5. After maintenance, carry out safety measurements as per standards in force.
Note: Never use solvents or thinners (e.g., acetone), because they may damage insulation,
plastic parts and lettering on the front panel!!
10.1 STORAGE
The device has to be stored in a clean and dry room. Protect the device from rain, direct sunshine
and frost.
After heating completion, leave the device switched on for 10 more minutes - it will be cooled down
by fans until it is cold, then it deactivates the fans. After that, turn it off using the master switch and
disconnect it from the power supply.
If you disconnect the device immediately, leave it and all the working coils to cool down for at least
15 minutes.
