Caution statements

When laminating the wrist interface unit, take the following precautions:
Do not laminate the wrist with the hand attached.
Ensure the Masking Plug is used to protect the rotational features of the
Wrist Connector.
Verify the dorsal alignment of the hand and socket is correct prior to laminating.
The dorsal midline of the hand will align with the centre of the rotation notch
when the hand is in a neutral position. Ensure the lamination ring is in the correct
orientation prior to lamination. Incorrect lamination will likely result in
re-fabrication of the forearm. See the lamination procedure for further details.
Use the supplied Low Profile Wrist Lubricant after the lamination process to
ensure the running surfaces move smoothly. Follow the process as described in
the section Lubrication and cleaning later in this guide.
It is recommended to clean and lubricate the Low Profile Wrist each time the
hand is removed. This must be done at a minimum of once per year to ensure
the best performance of the product.
Only use denatured alcohol or dish detergent in water as the cleaning solution.
Other chemicals could contaminate the plastic and cause damage.
Do not connect the COM line to the Power Switch (Battery Power). This may
damage the circuitry of the hand. Only connect the Power Switch to the Switch
Block (see page 11, figure 3 for the correct wiring detail).
