PAG 13
The use of any electrical appliance involves the observance of a number of funda-
mental rules:
1
Never touch the equipment with wet or damp hands.
2
Do not use the equipment when barefoot.
3
Never use the equipment near to sinks, wash basins, baths or anywhere
where there is running water.
4
Be extremely cautious if you have to use extension cables in rooms that are
used as bathrooms.
5
Do not pull on the electrical cable itself when removing the plug from the
socket.
6
Do not expose the equipment to atmospheric agents (rain, sun etc.).
7
Do not allow children or disabled persons to use the equipment unsupervised.
Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operations, take the equipment's
plug out of the electrical supply socket. When you clean the outside of the equipment
do not use cloths impregnated with detergent as these may penetrate into the
equipment. It is advisable to use a damp cloth or a cloth dampened with denatured
alcohol (pink).
In the case of a breakdown or poor functioning of the equipment, switch it off without
tampering with it. If repairs are required, use only specialised or authorised personnel
and explicitly request
the use of original spare parts
.
The use of such tools as screwdrivers, keys etc by unauthorised persons to open the
equipment and then tamper with it is absolutely not permitted.
When you decide not to use this equipment any longer you are advised to render it
non-operational as follows:
1
Unplug the machine from the electrical socket.
2
Cut the electrical supply cable.
Do not work with the equipment's cable stretched too taut as this may be danger-
ous. Do not leave the equipment plugged in when not necessary. Unplug each time
after you have used it.
To prevent dangerous overheating, it is advisable to unwind the electrical supply ca-
ble fully. Do not obstruct the ventilation or heat dispersal slits.
If the cable gets damaged somehow, make sure it is quickly replaced.
For extra protection install a line fault protection switch with nominal break non
higher than 30 mA. Contact an electrician for details
