Safety information
Safety information
Read the safety precautions in this manual before installing, operating or
servicing this product.
The following symbols are used to identify important safety information:
Caution! Safety
hazard. Risk of
severe injury or
death.
Caution! Burn
hazard. Hot
surface. Do not
touch.
Danger!
Hazardous
voltage. Contact
will cause electric
shock.
Caution! Fire
hazard.
Warning! This product is not for household use. It presents risks of injury due to
electric shock, burns, falls and respiratory problems!
Read this manual before operating the machine, follow the safety precautions
listed below, and observe all warnings in this manual and printed on the
machine. Use the machine only as described in this manual and in accordance
with local laws and regulations.
If you have questions about how to operate the machine safely, or if you have
followed the instructions in this manual and the machine is malfunctioning,
please contact Martin Service and Support.
Preventing electric shocks
Always ground (earth) the machine electrically.
Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building and
electrical codes, and that has both overload and ground-fault protection.
Before connecting the machine to power, check that the voltage
indicated on the machine’s serial label matches your local AC power
voltage. If your AC power voltage does not match, do not use the
machine. Contact Martin Service and Support for assistance.
Before using the machine, check that all power distribution equipment
and cables are in perfect condition and rated for the current
requirements of all connected devices.
If the machine or any cables connected to it are in any way damaged,
defective, wet, or show signs of overheating, stop using the machine and
contact Martin Service and Support for assistance. If the supply cord is
damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available
from the manufacturer or its service agent.
Disconnect the machine from AC power before servicing and when not in
use.
This machine is not waterproof and should not be exposed to wet
outdoor conditions. Do not immerse in water or any other liquid. Do not
expose to high-pressure water jets.

6
Safety information
Do not spill fluid over or inside the machine. If fluid is spilled, disconnect
AC power and clean with a damp cloth. If fluid is spilled onto electronic
parts, take the machine out of service and contact Martin Service and
Support for advice.
Do not remove the covers or attempt to repair a faulty machine. Refer
any service not described in this manual to Martin Service and Support.
Do not operate the machine if any parts are damaged, defective or
missing.
Moisture and electricity do not mix. Do not aim fog output at electrical
connections or devices.
Preventing burns and fire
The fog produced by the machine is hot enough to cause burns when it
leaves the nozzle, and very hot droplets of fluid escape occasionally.
Keep people and objects at least 600 mm (24 in.) away from the fog
output nozzle.
Do not touch the fog output nozzle during or after use –it becomes
extremely hot and remains hot for several hours after the machine has
been shut down.
Fog output contains glycol, a flammable alcohol that burns with an
almost invisible blue flame. Do not point fog output at sources of ignition
such as open flames or pyrotechnic effects.
Do not attempt to bypass thermostatic switches, fluid sensors or fuses.
Replace fuses only with ones of the type and rating specified in this
manual for the machine.
Provide a minimum free space of 100 mm (4 in.) around the machine.
Provide a minimum free space of 500 mm (20 in.) around fans and air
vents and ensure free and unobstructed airflow to and around the
machine.
Keep the machine at least 600 mm (24 in.) away from combustible and
heat-sensitive materials.
Do not operate the machine if the ambient temperature (Ta) is below 5°
C (41° F) or above 40° C (104° F).
Do not operate the machine if the relative air humidity exceeds 80%.
Preventing injuries
Fasten the machine securely to a fixed surface or structure when in use.
The machine is not portable when installed.
Ensure that any supporting structure and/or hardware used can hold at
least 10 times the weight of all the devices they support.
If suspending from a rigging structure, fasten the machine to a rigging
clamp. Do not use safety cables as the primary means of support.
If the machine is installed in a location where it may cause injury or
damage if it falls, install as directed in this manual a secondary
attachment such as a safety cable that will hold the machine if a primary
attachment fails. The secondary attachment must be approved by an
official body such as TÜV as a safety attachment for the weight that it
secures, must comply with EN 60598-2-17 Section 17.6.6 and must be
capable of bearing a static suspended load that is ten times the weight of
the machine and all installed accessories.
Check that all external covers and rigging hardware are securely
fastened.

7
Safety information
Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform
whenever installing, servicing or moving the machine.
Do not operate the machine with missing or damaged covers or shields.
In the event of an operating problem, stop using the machine
immediately and disconnect it from power. Do not attempt to use a
machine that is obviously damaged.
Do not modify the machine in any way not described in this manual or
install other than genuine Martin parts.
Refer any service operation not described in this manual to a qualified
technician.
Fog output can cause condensation. Do not point the output at smooth
floors. Floors and surfaces may become slippery. Check these frequently
and wipe dry as necessary to avoid any danger of slipping.
Ensure at least 2 m (6.6 ft.) visibility in areas where fog is being
produced.
Fog fluid contains food-grade glycols in solution that may present health
risks.
IF SWALLOWED: Do not induce vomiting. Drink 1-2 glasses of water
and seek medical attention.
AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN AND EYES: In case of accidental
contact: EYES: Hold eyes open and flush with water for ten minutes,
seek medical attention if irritation persists. SKIN: Remove contaminated
clothing and rinse skin for 20 minutes, seek medical attention if irritation
persists.
Consult the fluids' SDS for more detailed safety information at
http://www.martin.com/safety-documents
This machine is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the machine by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
machine.
Preventing breathing problems
A machine can operate safely only with the fog fluid it is designed for.
Use the machine only with fluids specified under “Approved Fog Fluid
types” on page 20 or you may cause the release of toxic gases,
presenting a severe health hazard. You will also probably damage the
machine.
Do not create dense fog in confined or poorly ventilated areas.
Do not expose people with health problems (including allergic and/or
respiratory conditions such as asthma) to fog output.
Do not point fog output directly at a person’s face or at face height.
