Safety information

Read the safety precautions in this manual before installing, operating or servicing this product.

The following symbols are used to identify important safety information:

Caution! Safety

hazard. Risk of

severe injury or

death.

Caution! Burn

hazard. Hot

surface. Do not

touch.

Danger!

Hazardous

voltage. Contact

will cause electric

shock.

Caution! Fire

hazard.

Warning! This product is not for household use. It presents risks of injury due to electric shock, burns, falls and respiratory problems!

Read this manual before operating the machine, follow the safety precautions listed below, and observe all warnings in this manual and printed on the machine. Use the machine only as described in this manual and in accordance with local laws and regulations.

If you have questions about how to operate the machine safely, or if you have followed the instructions in this manual and the machine is malfunctioning, please contact Martin™ Service.

Pr e ve nt i ng el e ctr ic sh o ck s

 Always ground (earth) the machine electrically.  Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building and

electrical codes, and that has both overload and ground-fault protection.

 Before connecting the machine to power, check that the voltage

indicated on the machine’s serial label matches your local AC power voltage. If your AC power voltage does not match, do not use the machine. Contact Martin™ Service for assistance.

 Before using the machine, check that all power distribution equipment

and cables are in perfect condition and rated for the current requirements of all connected devices.

 If the machine or any cables connected to it are in any way damaged,

defective, wet, or show signs of overheating, stop using the machine and contact Martin™ Service for assistance. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent.

 Disconnect the machine from AC power before servicing and when not

in use.

Safety information

 This machine is not waterproof and should not be exposed to wet

outdoor conditions. Do not immerse in water or any other liquid. Do not expose to high-pressure water jets.

 Do not spill fluid over or inside the machine. If fluid is spilled, disconnect

AC power and clean with a damp cloth. If fluid is spilled onto electronic parts, take the machine out of service and contact Martin™ for advice.

 Do not remove the covers or attempt to repair a faulty machine. Refer

any service not described in this manual to Martin™.

 Do not operate the machine if any parts are damaged, defective or

missing.

 Moisture and electricity do not mix. Do not aim fog output at electrical

connections or devices.

Pr e ve nt i ng bur ns an d f i re

 The fog produced by the machine is hot enough to cause burns when it

leaves the nozzle, and very hot droplets of fluid escape occasionally. Keep people and objects at least 600 mm (24 in.) away from the fog output nozzle.

 Do not touch the fog output nozzle during or after use – it becomes

extremely hot and remains hot for several hours after the machine has been shut down.

 Fog output contains glycol, a flammable alcohol that burns with an

almost invisible blue flame. Do not point fog output at sources of ignition such as open flames or pyrotechnic effects.

 Do not attempt to bypass thermostatic switches, fluid sensors or fuses.  Replace fuses only with ones of the type and rating specified in this

manual for the machine.

 Provide a minimum free space of 100 mm (4 in.) around the machine.  Provide a minimum free space of 500 mm (20 in.) around fans and air

vents and ensure free and unobstructed air flow to and around the machine.

 Keep the machine at least 600 mm (24 in.) away from combustible and

heat-sensitive materials.

 Do not operate the machine if the ambient temperature (Ta) is below 5°

C (41° F) or above 40° C (104° F).

 Do not operate the machine if the relative air humidity exceeds 80%.

Pr e ve nt i ng in j ur i es

 Fasten the machine securely to a fixed surface or structure when in use.

The machine is not portable when installed.

 Ensure that any supporting structure and/or hardware used can hold at

least 10 times the weight of all the devices they support.

 If suspending from a rigging structure, fasten the machine to a rigging

clamp. Do not use safety cables as the primary means of support.

 If the machine is installed in a location where it may cause injury or

damage if it falls, install as directed in this manual a secondary attachment such as a safety cable that will hold the machine if a primary attachment fails. The secondary attachment must be approved by an official body such as TÜV as a safety attachment for the weight that it secures, must comply with EN 60598-2-17 Section 17.6.6 and must be

capable of bearing a static suspended load that is ten times the weight of the machine and all installed accessories.

 Check that all external covers and rigging hardware are securely

fastened.

 Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform

whenever installing, servicing or moving the machine.

 Do not operate the machine with missing or damaged covers or shields.  In the event of an operating problem, stop using the machine

immediately and disconnect it from power. Do not attempt to use a machine that is obviously damaged.

 Do not modify the machine in any way not described in this manual or

install other than genuine Martin™ parts.

 Refer any service operation not described in this manual to a qualified

technician.

 Fog output can cause condensation. Do not point the output at smooth

floors. Floors and surfaces may become slippery. Check these frequently and wipe dry as necessary to avoid any danger of slipping.

 Ensure at least 2 m (6.6 ft.) visibility in areas where fog is being

produced.

 Fog fluid contains food-grade glycols in solution but may present health

risks if swallowed. Do not drink it. Store it securely. If eye contact occurs, rinse with water. If fluid is swallowed, give water and obtain medical advice.

 This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)

with reduced physical sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Pr e ve nt i ng br e at h ing p r ob l em s

 A machine can operate safely only with the fog fluid it is designed for.

Use the machine only with fluids specified under “Approved fluid types” on page 21 or you may cause the release of toxic gases, presenting a severe health hazard. You will also probably damage the machine.

 Do not create dense fog in confined or poorly ventilated areas.  Do not expose people with health problems (including allergic and/or

respiratory conditions such as asthma) to fog output.

 Do not point fog output directly at a person’s face or at face height.
