SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The HyperSpike®HS-18 RAHD uses high operating voltages and sound levels. The primary safety
risks are: 1) electrical shock and 2) hearing damage or loss. Onlyproperlytrained personnel should
operate the HS-18 RAHD and abide by the critical safety warnings identified in this manual to
prevent injury or death during operation.
Additional Electrical Safety Measures
Following these basic safety measures will prevent dangerous or potentially deadly situations from
arising :
Inspect the power cable for damage before each use.
Keep the power cable away from heated surfaces.
Never remove the power cable from an outlet by pulling on the cord.
Never leave the unit plugged into an outlet when unattended.
Never override any of the HS-18’s electrical safety features.
Sound Safety Measures
Threshold of Pain
The National Institute for Occupational Safetyand Health (NIOSH) recognizes 120 dB as the
threshold of pain for unprotected hearing. Operators should wear hearing protection and ensure that
personnel are not directly in front of the device, at close range, when the power is ON.
WARNING:
LIFE THREATENING ELECTRIC SHOCK OR DEATH BY ELECTROCUTION
100 - 250 VAC IS PRESENT WHEN ENERGIZED
Always plug the unit into properly grounded electrical outlets.
Never immerse the unit or power cable in water or allowed to sit in pooled water.
Do not operate the device if the power cable is pinched, frayed, or cut.
WARNING:
TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT HEARING DAMAGE MAY OCCUR
HIGH LEVEL OF SOUND CAN BE EMITTED
Always wear hearing protection according to OSHA’s hearing conservation program.
Operators must remain behind the HS-18 during operation.
