Protection systems built into the device
1.2.
T
HERMAL PROTECTION
All SURFOX units automatically shut down if excessive
overheating is detected on the inverter board.
When this protection system is activated, the device
immediately shuts down and cannot be restarted until it has
cooled down; once the temperature has returned to normal
levels, the unit automatically resumes operation.
To prevent the unit from overheating, air must flow freely
through the air vents. Maintain a minimum clearance of 8"
(20 cm) around the unit to ensure that all air openings are
clear of any obstruction.
Do not disable and/or bypass the device's built-in protection systems.
Residual risks
1.3.
The risks involved in the use of this devices are significantly reduced if both the safety rules indicated in chapter 1.1 and the
instructions for use shown in this manual are followed.
However, there are still risks arising from the high temperature reached by the electrode, possible contact with electrolyte
solutions and the operator's potential exposure to harmful fumes generated during processing; therefore, it is advisable to
always follow all the safety procedures described in this chapter.
First aid measures
1.4.
In the event of accidental exposure to electrolyte solutions or fumes produced during processing, please remain calm and
avoid any unintentional or harmful actions. It is recommended that you comply with the following guidelines:
• In the case of inhalation of processing fumes, try to ensure an inflow of fresh air into the respiratory tract and aerate the
surrounding environment when possible. If there are any subsequent respiratory tract complaints, seek medical advice.
• If the skin comes into contact with acid solutions, wash it immediately with running water and soap; if after drying you
experience persistent skin irritation, consult a dermatologist or doctor.
• If acid solutions are swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Call an ambulance immediately and in the meantime repeatedly
rinse your mouth and then drink copious amounts of water.
• If a certain amount of electrolyte comes into contact with your eyes, rinse your face thoroughly while trying to keep
your eyes open. Repeat the operation for at least 15 minutes, lifting eyelids occasionally. Use an emergency eyewash if
available. If possible, remove any contact lenses and continue rinsing. If irritation or subsequent visual complaints persist,
consult an ophthalmologist or doctor immediately.

ROTECTION AGAINST SHORT CIRCUITS
All SURFOX units are equipped with a built-in short circuit
protection system that can occur between the insert installed
on the wand and the workpiece, in particular when the
currents involved are high.
In the rare cases in which this happens, the system is
designed to automatically intervene and terminate the flow
of current to the wand; in this way the device electronic
parts are safeguarded. The operation of the unit is restored
immediately once the electrode has been removed from the
workpiece.
If the device repeatedly trips, it is recommended to check
the wear of the consumables (e.g. pads) or to use lower
operating voltages.
