Safety instructions
Read the operating instructions carefully and especially observe the safety information.
If you do not follow the safety instructions and information on proper handling in this
manual, we assume no liability for any resulting personal injury or damage to property.
Such cases will invalidate the warranty/guarantee.
a) Persons / Product
• The device is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
• Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. These may become dangerous
playing material for children.
• Protect the product from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, strong jolts, high humidity,
moisture, flammable gases, vapours and solvents.
• Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
• If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and protect it from
any accidental use. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed if the product:
- is visibly damaged,
- is no longer working properly,
- has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or
- has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.
• Please handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height can damage
the product.
• Also observe the safety and operating instructions of any other devices which are connected
to the product.
• The power strip is equipped with a child safety device. The device will only release the socket
openings, if both pins of a plug are inserted into the socket simultaneously. Still exercise caution
when using the product in the vicinity of children. Children cannot recognize the hazards posed
by improperly using electrical devices. This poses a risk of fatal injury due to electric shock!
• Only use a properly installed mains outlet of the public power supply (230 V/AC, 50 Hz) as a
power source.
• The mains outlet must be located near to the device and be easily accessible.
• Unwrap the power cable fully during use. The power cable may not be squashed or damaged
on sharp edges. Do not place any objects on the cable and do not step on the cable. Lay the
cable so that no one can accidentally trip over it and so that the plug is easily accessible. Do
not lay the cable under rugs, etc.
• Never touch, use, plug in or unplug the product with moist or wet hands. This poses a risk of
fatal injury due to electric shock!
• Never connect the product to the mains directly after moving it from a cold to a warm room (i.e.
during transportation). This may cause condensation, which can destroy the device or lead to
electric shock. Let the product first reach room temperature. Wait until all condensation has
evaporated – this may take up to several hours. Only now may the product be connected to
the power supply and operated.
• Only unplug a power plug by pulling on the provided grips, never pull on the power cable to
unplug the device.
• Do not overload the power strip. Heed the power rating in the chapter “Technical data”.
• Do not connect the product in series! This may overload the power strip. This poses a fire
hazard! Connect the power strip‘s safety plug directly to a mains outlet. Do not connect any
more power strips to the product.
