1. Safety precautions Warning and Caution Warning 1. Never use the machine in atmosphere containing ignitable and explosive gases. Never use the machine in atmosphere containing ignitable and explosive gases. The ma- chine is not of explosion-proof construction. Turning on and off the switches and operating the machine will produce sparks, which may become a cause of a fire or explosion.
2. Before operating the unit Precautions for Installation Warning 1. Be sure to connect the ground wire. ・ To prevent electric shock accidents due to fault current, be sure to connect the ground wire to the ground terminal on the building side. This machine falls in the category of Class D Ground Work.
3. MAIN APPLICATIONS Applications Applications The unit is used to plasma-process work pieces to modify their surfaces or to clean them. The unit has two modes (RIE and DP) to support various applications. Application of the RIE mode This mode is used to clean objects whose soil contains inorganic matters as well as organic ones, or to modify surfaces.
