Generator Electric Shock Hazards

WARNINGS:
Connect the generator power cord to a properly grounded receptacle. Do not use power plug
adapters.
Electric Shock Hazard - Connect the power cord to a properly polarized and grounded power
source with the frequency and voltage characteristics that match those listed on the back of the
unit. Do not use power plug adapters.
Do not connect a wet power cord to the generator or to the wall receptacle.
To avoid risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a supply mains with
protective earth.
To allow stored energy to dissipate after power is disconnected (caps discharge) wait at least five
minutes before replacing parts.
Always turn off and unplug the generator before cleaning.
Do not touch any exposed wiring or conductive surfaces while the generator is disassembled and
energized. Never wear a grounding strap when working on an energized generator.
When taking troubleshooting measurements use appropriate precautions such as using isolated
tools and equipment, using the "one hand rule," etc.
Potentially lethal AC and DC voltages are present in the AC line circuitry, high voltage DC circuitry,
and associated mounting and heat sink hardware described in this manual. These potentials are
not isolated from the AC line. Take appropriate precautions when testing and troubleshooting this
area of the generator.
High frequency, high voltage signals that can cause severe burns are present in the RF output
stage and in the associated mounting and heat sink hardware. Take appropriate precautions when
testing and troubleshooting this area of the generator.
Hazardous Electrical Output - This equipment is for use only by trained, licensed physicians.

Servicing

WARNING:
No modification of this equipment is allowed.
CAUTIONS:
Read all warnings, cautions, and instructions provided with this generator before servicing
contained within this service guide document and the associated User Guide provided with each unit which are
specific for the intended generator application of Human Use or Veterinary Use.
The generator contains electrostatic-sensitive components. When repairing the generator, work at
a static-control workstation. Wear a grounding strap when handling electrostatic-sensitive
components, except when working on an energized generator. Handle circuit boards by their
nonconductive edges. Use an anti-static container for transport of electrostatic-sensitive
components and circuit boards.
Provide as much distance as possible between the electrosurgical generator and other electronic
equipment (such as monitors). An activated electrosurgical generator may cause interference
with them.
NOTICE:
After installing a new low voltage power supply, verify that the voltages are correct.
