ON/OFF switch when you are not using
it.
- Remove the power plug from the power
socket:
- in the event of long usage breaks.
- before all installation and maintenance
measures and discharge the capacitor of
the studio flash unit.
Faulty cables, moisture and wetness
can cause the mains connection to
short-circuit. As a result, line insulation
and/or lead wires may melt.
DANGER OF FIRE AND ELECTRIC SHOCK!
- Only connect the studio flash unit to the
power mains with the supplied original
cables. These cables are matched to the
unit and guarantee the necessary
safety.
- You must not use the studio flash unit
- with wet hands or feet
- in wet rooms or outdoors. Do not
expose the studio flash unit to dripping
or spraying water (e.g. rain).
- regions with a tropical climate
- if cables and leads are damaged.
Oil from your skin on the flash tube or
the bulb of the modelling lamp can
cause them to explode because of the
high amount of heat generated during
operation.
DANGER OF CUTS OR SPLINTERS
- Never touch the bulb of the modelling
lamp with bare fingers. Only touch the
flash tube and the bulb of the modelling
lamp with a clean, grease-free cloth or
cotton gloves.
- When installing accessories, make sure
that you avoid touching the flash tube
and bulb.
- Treat the flash tube and bulb with care
so that the glass does not break.
There may be heat accumulation by the
flash tube if the studio flash unit is setup
such that the flash tube points vertically
downwards when it flashes.
When the unit is setup that way,
- do not trigger rapid sequences of
flashes with high flash output (>5).
- do not use any small, tight reflectors.
- do not use a starburst filter on the
reflector.
• Only maintain and clean the studio
flash unit as described in chapter 11 of
these operating instructions.
• Rapid changes in temperature may lead
to condensation. Allow time for the unit
to become acclimatised!
• Only use original Metz spare parts for
the studio flash unit that comply with
the stipulated specification.
See chapter 14.
Maintenance work on the studio flash unit
must be carried out only with tools insulated
