arcing that may cause a fire or
explosion is lost if safety circuits
are disabled during operation.

as instructed.
Production should never be done with the safety
circuits disabled.
Before turning the high voltage on, make sure no
objects are within the sparking distance.
Toxic Substances Certain material may be harmful
if inhaled, or if there is contact
with the skin.
Follow the requirements of the Material Safety Data
