SAFETY NOTICE
TECHNICAL DATA
CLASS III SYMBOL
A Class III appliance is designed to be supplied from a separate/safety extralow voltage (SELV) power source. The voltage from a SELV supply is low
enough that under normal conditions a person can safely come into contact
with it, without the risk of electrical shock. The extra safety features built
into Class I and Class II appliances are, therefore, not required. For medical
devices, compliance with Class III is not considered sufcient protection,
and further more-stringent regulations apply to such equipment.
Operating Voltage: 5-12 V DC
Current: UP TO 1.5 A
Ambient Temperature: +10 to +35 °C
Relative Humidity: 30 to 75%
Dimensions (Ø X L): H56 x W49 X L27 mm

E-GIVE
E-GIVE ADJUSTMENT
With this feature you’ll be able to control the amount of “give” or resistance of the needle upon
impact with the skin. This enables the artist to take advantage of the softness or hardness of hit to
achieve specic results. 0 no effect, 5 maximum amount of E-give.
SETTING E-GIVE
There are 6 settings for E-give,
0 through 5. Change the setting
by swipping down and up on
the bars. The higher the setting
the higher the amount of give.
0 = no give, 5 = maximum give.
E-GIVE INDICATOR
The number displayed is the
current E-give setting.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
VOLTAGE PARAMETERS
While voltage is a parameter that will vary from artist to artist, the LightningBolt has been tested
to operate at a minimum voltage of around 5-Volts with a maximum voltage of 12-Volts.
Depending on the type of needle conguration, or brand you use, feel free to adjust the voltage to
obtain the desired performance. NOTE: Some machines require a minimum voltage to operate
correctly, please check your machine manufacturer’s requirements.
