WARNING
Protection against electric shock
Be sure the protective earth cable is properly connected to the control unit
prior to use.
Do not use the G-Arm system if the power cable is damaged.
Do not remove or open the casing or covers of the equipment. The internal
circuits of the G-Arm system generate high voltages and can cause serious
injury or death. To minimize the shock hazard, the power cable must be con-
nected to a UL-approved power receptacle.
Radiation protection
The G-Arm system is designed and manufactured with the highest safety
standards. However, no design can guarantee absolute safety or complete
protection. See "Radiation Protection" (s1.9, p16) for more information on this
topic.
Explosion protection
Do not operate the equipment in the presence of flammable or explosive
liquids, vapors or gases.
If flammable substances are detected after the system has been turned on,
do not attempt to turn the system off. Evacuate and ventilate the area before
turning the system off.
Implosion protection
Jarring or striking the system could lead to serious mechanical shocks, lead-
ing to explosion. This may result in injury from flying debris.
Electrical fire protection
This equipment is not suitable for use in the presence of flammable gases.
Conductive fluids that drain into the active circuit components of the system
may cause short circuits that may result in electrical fire. Therefore, do not
place fluids or food on any part of the system.
Make sure that the fire extinguisher at the site has been approved for use on
electrical fires, to prevent electrical shock or burn.
