Important Safety Notes

By purchasing, using, or assembling this kit, you have agreed to hold Akitika LLC
harmless for any injuries you may receive in its assembly and/or use. To prevent injuries:
 Wear safety glasses when soldering or clipping wires to prevent eye injuries.
 Always unplug the power before working on the amplifier.
 Large capacitors hold lots of energy for a long time. Before you put your hands
into the amplifier:
o Pull the AC plug!
o Wait 2 full minutes for the capacitors to discharge!
 Remove jewelry and rings from your hands and wrists, or anything that might
dangle into the amplifier.
 If working one the equipment with the power on, keep one hand in your pocket,
especially if you're near the power supply or power supply wires. This can
prevent serious shocks.
 Build with a buddy nearby. If you've ignored all the previous advice, they can
dial 911 or get you to the hospital.
 Read and understand the safety manuals of all the tools you use.

About Components

We reserve the right to make design/or component changes at any time without prior

Recommended Solder

The kit must be assembled with 60/40 Rosin Core solder. The recommended diameter is
0.032 inches. Among many such sources of solder, I have used Radio Shack part number
64-009. It contains 8 oz. of solder, which is much more than you'll need to assemble this
kit.

Warranty

With the exception of fuses, Akitika LLC will replace for free any parts of a correctly
assembled product that fails within one year of the date of purchase when the equipment
has been used in home stereo applications. It is the responsibility of the kit builder to
install the replacement part(s). This warranty applies to the original purchaser only. It
does not apply to units that have been physically or electrically abused, modified without
prior factory authorization, or assembled with other than 60/40 Rosin Core solder.
Akitika LLC's liability shall in no event exceed the cost paid to Akitika LLC for the kit.
