Safety hints for operation with compact flash units
To avoid damage to the flash tube, mount reflectors
and lightformers (softboxes etc.) before use and turning
on the unit. Do not move compact flashes around while
they are operating. Turn the appliance off for each
change of reflectors or to move the unit to another
location.
Caution:
Reflectors, speedrings and other accessories heat up
during longer operation. To avoid injuries, handle with
isolating cloth or wait until parts have cooled down.
A damaged flash tube is extremely dangerous
because the electrically charged electrodes are
exposed and touching must be avoided; the unit
must be switched off and disconnected from the
mains outlet immediately. The capacitors inside
may still be charged and dangerous high voltage
can still be present at the damaged flash tube
electrodes (Replacement

the suspended compact flash has to be doubly secured
from falling down or dropping. This is done by
tightening the safety screw (not included in the
standard delivery) into the thread of HENSEL tilting
head.
Due to the existing safety regulations, it is, however,
necessary to use a safety rope (Code No. 769) for
further security.
The safety rope has to be led through the handle of the
compact flash and then secured by looping through the
bracket on the pantograph or the eyelet on the carriage.
Heating
Due to the modeling lamp and flashlight, each compact
flash unit emits heat. This can heat the parts of the unit
up to a dangerous level. Therefore make sure that the
