Section 2 – Health & Safety
General Considerations
Please observe these health and safety recommendations for safe, efficient, and
Proper Installation - Operate system components only after they are properly installed and checked.
No Unauthorized Modifications - Do not modify your system in any way unless authorized to do so by the man- ufacturer. Unauthorized modifications may cause injury to the operator and/or equipment damage. In addition, unauthorized modifications will void the equipment war- ranty.
Keep the Cover On - Do not remove any equipment cov- er unless specifically directed to do so by the manufactur- er. The generator produces hazardous electrical voltages which could cause injury.
Grounded Electrical Power - Operate this equipment only with a properly grounded electrical connection.
(See Page 11 for grounding information.)
Comply with Regulations - You may be required to add accessories to bring the system into compliance with ap- plicable OSHA regulations for noise exposure.
Plastics Health Notice
Before using any ultrasonic welding system, be sure you are familiar with OSHA regulations from the U.S. Depart- ment of Labor about the particular type of plastic(s) you are using.
When plastic materials are being processed, they may emit fumes and/or gases that could be hazardous. Make sure you have adequate ventilation whenever these plastics are processed.
Never operate the gen- erator with the cover off. This is an unsafe prac- tice and may cause injury.IMPORTANT
CAUTION
Parts being joined ultrasoni- cally sometimes vibrate at 
audible frequencies. Wear ear 
protection to reduce annoying or uncomfortable sounds. In addition, sound absorbing materials, enclosures or sound deflectors may be installed to reduce the noise level.
