USER MANUAL
CLASS III SYMBOL
A Class III appliance is designed to be supplied from a separate/safety
extra-low voltage (SELV) power source. The voltage from a SELV supply is
low enough that, under normal conditions, a person can safely come into
contact, without the risk of electrical shock. The extra safety features built
into Class I and Class II appliances are, therefore, not required. For medical
devices, compliance with Class III is not considered sufcient protection,
and further, more-stringent regulations apply to such equipment.

ADJUSTING
NEEDLE
DEPTH
To adjust needle depth,
hold the device body and
PowerBolt II while turning
the Grip. A counter clockwise
turn decreases depth, while a
clockwise turn increases depth
(also known as needle hang).
Each time you turn the grip you
can feel the tactile feedback
of the ratcheting mechanism.
Each “click” displaces your
needle 0.2 mm and allows you
to set your needle precisely
without involuntarily turning
during procedures.
