General Considerations

Please observe these health and safety recommendations for safe, efficient,
and injury-free operation of your equipment.
Proper Installation - Operate system components only after they are properly
installed.
No Unauthorized Modifications - Do not modify your system in any way
unless authorized to do so by Dukane. Unauthorized modifications could cause
equipment damage and/or injury to the operator. In addition, unauthorized
modifications will void equipment warranty.
Keep the Cover On - Do not remove any equipment cover unless directed to
do so by Dukane. Hazardous electrical voltages are present which could cause
injury.
Grounded Electrical Power - Operate this equipment only with a grounded
electrical connection.
See Electrical Safety for grounding instructions on Page 7.
Comply with Regulations - you may be required to add accessories to bring
the system into compliance with applicable regulations (OSHA in the USA) for
machine guarding and noise exposure.
Use Eye Protection - Wear ANSI approved safety impact goggles.
Acoustic Stack Hazard - When an acoustic stack (transducer, booster, horn
and tip) is energized by the ultrasound signal, it presents a potential hazard.
Stay clear of an energized stack.
System Electrical Cabling - Electrical power must be off when connecting or
disconnecting electrical cables.
Do Not Wear Loose Clothing or Jewelry - They can become caught in moving
parts.
Stay Alert - Watch what you are doing at all times. Use common sense. Do not
operate the press when you are tired or distracted from the job at hand.
Do Not Operate the Equipment - your judgement or reflexes could be impaired
while taking prescription medications. If so, do not operate the equipment.
Be familiar with warning labels and recommended activity restrictions that
accompany your prescription medications. If you have any doubt, do not
operate the equipment.
