 Technical data, page 7
 Before increasing the output power due to
insufficient coagulation, without fail check:
•
Perfect contact of all HF cables and connectors.
•
Foot switch function.
•
Insulation of the HF cable, active electrodes, trocar
sleeve or shaft,
•
Cleanliness and wear of the distal end of the active
electrodes.
 Switch on the HF current only when the active
electrodes are in contact with the tissue to be
coagulated (don't use Auto Start).
 Active HF instruments must not be placed upon
the pacient: this may lead to burns.
 Using plastic trocars increases the electrical
safety.
