2. Safety Instructions
• Damages caused by the disregard of this user manual are not subject to warranty.
• If the device has been exposed to important temperature fluctuation (e.g. after transportation), do not
switch it on immediately. The arising condensation water might damage your device. Leave the device
switched off until it has reached room temperature.
• Make sure that there are no obvious transport damages. Should you notice any damages on the A/C
connection cable or on the casing, do not take the device into operation and immediately consult your
local dealer.
• This device falls under protection-class I. The power plug must only be plugged into a protection class I
outlet. The voltage and frequency must exactly be the same as stated on the device. Wrong voltages or
power outlets can lead to the destruction of the device and to fatal electrical shock.
• Always plug in the power plug last. The power plug must always be inserted without force. Make sure
that the plug is tightly connected with the outlet.
• Never let the power cord come into contact with other cables. Handle the power cord and all
connections with the mains with particular caution. Never touch them with wet hands, as this could lead
to fatal electrical shock.
• Never modify, bend, strain mechanically, put pressure on, pull or heat up the power cord. Never
operate next to sources of heat or cold. Disregard can lead to power cord damages, fire or fatal
electrical shock.
• The cable insert or the female part in the device must never be strained. There must always be
sufficient cable to the device. Otherwise, the cable may be damaged which may lead to fatal damage.
• Make sure that the power cord is never crimped or damaged by sharp edges. Check the device and the
power cord from time to time.
• If extension cords are used, make sure that the core diameter is sufficient for the required power
consumption of the device. All warnings concerning the power cords are also valid for possible
extension cords.
• Always disconnect from the mains, when the device is not in use or before cleaning it. Only handle the
power cord by the plug. Never pull out the plug by tugging the power cord. Otherwise, the cable or plug
can be damaged leading to fatal electrical shock. If the power plug or the power switch is not
accessible, the device must be disconnected via the mains.
• If the power plug or the device is dusty, the device must be taken out of operation, disconnected and
then be cleaned with a dry cloth. Dust can reduce the insulation which may lead to fatal electrical
shock. More severe dirt in and at the device should only be removed by a specialist.
• There must never enter any liquid into power outlets, extension cords or any holes in the housing of the
device. If you suppose that also a minimal amount of liquid may have entered the device, it must
immediately be disconnected. This is also valid, if the device was exposed to high humidity. Also if the
device is still running, the device must be checked by a specialist if the liquid has reduced any
insulation. Reduced insulation can cause fatal electrical shock.
• There must never be any objects entering into the device. This is especially valid for metal parts. If any
metal parts like staples or coarse metal chips enter into the device, the device must be taken out of
operation and disconnected immediately. Malfunction or short-circuits caused by metal parts may cause
fatal injuries.
• HEALTH HAZARD. Never look directly into the light source, as sensitive persons may suffer an epileptic
shock (especially meant for epileptics).
• Keep away from children and unauthorized people.
• Never leave the device running unattended.
