Safety information Read all the safety information and instructions carefully.
Ignoring safety information and instructions may result in
electric shock, re or severe injuries.
Use the HANDcure and accessories in accordance with
these instructions
h
1 SAFETY
Danger The UV light emitted by the HANDcure presents risks.
Never look into the light source, as this can cause permanent
damage to the eyes. Never point the light source directly at
people or animals.
To prevent uncontrolled emission of light, wrap the safety loop
around your wrist.
Always wear the safety gear provided (gloves and glasses).
Long-sleeved clothing is recommended.
People without safety gear must maintain a safety distance of
4 m from the light source when it is being operated.
Reected light To prevent risks from reecting UV light, maintain a distance
of at least 750 mm between unprotected skin and the object
being irradiated.
In addition, the object to be irradiated should be placed on a
dark, matt surface.

1.2 Operation of the Unit as Directed
The “HANDcure” hand-held UV device is constructed in
accordance with both the state of the art and recognized
safety regulations. Nevertheless, if it is not used properly
or in accordance with its intended purpose, it may present
hazards to the health of the user or of third parties or
damage may be caused to the device itself or to other
assets.
This device is a UV light source typically used in cross-
linking and detection.
Prerequisite Operation of the device in accordance with intended use
assumes that the operating and servicing specications and
the safety information they contain are followed and that the
HANDcure is operated only when it is in a safe state to do
so.
Any use outside this scope is considered not in accordance
with purpose.
The manufacturer will not be held liable for damages or for
risk to life and limb arising from such use.
Users Only trained or instructed specialists may operate the
device.
Do not allow persons who are unfamiliar with the HANDcure
or who have not read these instructions to use it.
Keep the device out of the reach of children.

1.3 Improper use
Product misuse The HANDcure is used in curing and detection by means of
long-wave UVA light. This includes the cross-linking of UV
adhesives, the cross-linking of UV-cured sealing compounds
and resins and the detection and inspection of material
properties and particle contamination.
The device may only be used for the specied sphere of
application.
If the HANDcure is used in a different way, the manufacturer
will not accept any responsibility. The user acts at his own
risk.
Product misuse covers using the device for tanning
purposes or to illuminate a room, for example.
Modications Autonomous modications to the HANDcure are prohibited
for safety reasons.
Spare parts Return the device to the manufacturer for repairs.
Do not switch on the device if device parts are missing or
defective.
Always contact IST METZ GmbH directly.
Repairs If repair work is carried out on this device by unauthorized
persons, the risk of danger increases. As a consequence,
any claim on IST METZ GmbH for warranty or liability will be
excluded.

1.4 Safety Instructions
Front screen If the HANDcure is operated without the safety loop wrapped
around your wrist, then if it drops in an uncontrolled manner,
the front screen may break resulting in a risk of cuts.
Do not operate the device with a defective screen or without a
screen.
Risk of burns Depending on the duration of irradiation, the front screen and
the plastic frame will be heated up by the UV radiation emitted,
so never handle the front screen or its immediate environment
directly.
Keep the front screen clean to prevent it overheating. Clean it
with a lint-free cloth and pure alcohol.
Ambient conditions Do not work in an environment at risk of explosion consisting
of ammable liquids, gases or dusts. The device may produce
sparks which may ignite the dust or vapours.
Keep the HANDcure away from heat and re.
Do not use or store the device in the rain or where there is
high humidity. Operate the device only in a moderate climate.
Observe the specied storage temperature of between +10 °C
and +25 °C. If the product is brought from a cold room into a
warm one, condensation may form.
Stationary operation It is possible to x the HANDcure in a bracket or jig using two
threads at the sides.
If this is necessary for reasons of application technology, the
device must be securely xed in position and screened.
Taking out of operation Always switch off the HANDcure and remove the rechargeable
battery when the device is not in use.

Battery Only use the enclosed charger to charge the rechargeable
batteries. Ignoring this instruction creates a risk of re.
Use only the rechargeable batteries intended for the purpose.
Ignoring this instruction creates a risk of injury.
In general, note the information below:
• Keep battery packs out of the wet!
• Do not use defective or deformed battery packs!
• Do not open battery packs!
• Do not short-circuit the contacts of the battery packs!
• Do not expose battery packs to re!
• A slightly acid ammable liquid may escape from
defective Li-ion battery packs!
If the skin is contaminated with battery liquid,
rinse it off with plenty of water. If battery liquid gets into the
eyes, ush the eyes with clean water. Then obtain medical
treatment without delay!
s
Warning of UV radiation
Exposure can lead to irritation of the eyes or skin. Ordinary
individuals are forbidden to use it. Use suitable screens.
According to EN 62471, the HANDcure was classied in Risk
Group 3.
Safety gear required
It is essential to avoid visual contact with the illuminated LED.
Wear the safety glasses and safety gloves enclosed with the
HANDcure.

Description of the UV-Technique
EN/
2 DESCRIPTION OF THE UV-TECHNIQUE
2.1 Process of UV-Drying
Principle UV crosslinking is a chemical process. The action of UV light
cross-links the liquid constituents of the binder.
We refer to this as polymerization and thus curing.
2.2 UV-Radiation
Electromagnetic Radiation Visible light at wavelengths between 380 nm and 780 nm
represents just a fraction of potential electromagnetic rays.
Light at wavelengths greater than 380 nm is perceived as blue
to violet. The human eye is unable to perceive the radiation of
wavelengths in the ultraviolet range, which is even shorter.
Generation of UV radiation
by UV LEDs
LEDs are based on semiconductor connections which convert
the current directly into light. If current ows through an
LED in the forward direction, it emits energy in the form of
light. Each LED can only give off light in a narrow spectral
range depending on the material used for the semiconductor
component. Typical LED systems work in the wavelength range
from 365 nm.
Hazard from UV radiation Natural UV radiation causes skin cells to change (tan),
ultimately developing sunburn. Articially generated UV-
radiation, however, is much more intensive than the sun’s
radiation to earth, creating a hazard to eyes, lips and skin, in
particular.
UVA rays may lead to irritation of sensitive mucous membranes
in the eye and under certain circumstances, also to skin
irritation.
