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 system 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.

Preventing electric shocks

• 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 Magnum smoke 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.

• Disconnect the machine from AC power before servicing and when not
in use.

• This system 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 system 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.

Safety information 3

• Do not operate the machine if any parts are damaged, defective or
missing.

• Moisture and electricity do not mix. Do not aim smoke output at electrical
connections or devices.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or
assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent.

Preventing burns and fire

• The smoke 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 1 meter (39 inches) away from the
smoke output nozzle.

• Do not touch the smoke output nozzle during or after use – it becomes
extremely hot and remain hot for several hours after the machine has
been shut down.

• Smoke output contains glycol, a flammable alcohol that burns with an
almost invisible blue flame. Do not point smoke 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 100mm (4 inches) around the
machine.

• Provide a minimum free space of 500mm (20 inches) around fans and
air vents and ensure free and unobstructed air flow to and around the
machine.

• Keep the machine at least 600mm (24 inches) 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%.

Preventing injuries

• Ensure that the surface on which the machine is located or installed can
safely hold the weight of the machine.

• 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.

• Do not install the machine over areas where people are present.

• Verify that the machine’s temperature setting is suitable for the type of

fluid in use whenever changing fluid or resetting the default menu values.

• Smoke machines 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 2m visibility in areas where smoke is being produced.

• Smoke 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.

4 Safety information

Preventing breathing problems

• A smoke machine can operate safely only with the smoke fluid it is
designed for. Use the machine only with fluids specified under “Smoke
fluid options” on page 17 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 smoke in confined or poorly ventilated areas.

• Do not expose people with health problems (including allergic and/or

respiratory conditions such as asthma) to smoke output.

• Do not point smoke output directly at a person’s face or at face height.
