• If you need to use an extension cord or power supply block, make sure that
the extension cord or power pack is plugged into a power socket, and not to
another extension cord or power supply. The extension power cord or power
supply block must be designed for grounded electrical plugs and connected to
a properly grounded electrical socket.
• The power plug of the appliance must be compatible with the mains socket.
Never use any adapters or modify the socket in any other way. Do not use
inappropriate or damaged sockets!
• To avoid electrical shock, plug the power cables into properly grounded
electrical sockets. If the device is equipped with a 3-pole plug, do not use
adapters that do not have a grounding element or remove the grounding
element from the plug or adapter.
• Do not bend, crush or otherwise expose the power cord of the appliance to
mechanical stress or external heat sources. Damage to the power cord may
result in electric shock.
• When the power cord is damaged, disconnect the appliance from the mains
and do not use it again.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service department or a similarly qualified person to avoid the risk of electric
shock.
• Regularly check and maintain the electrical appliance as well as the power
cord and power socket. Disconnect the power plug regularly and clean it if
necessary. Pollution by dust or other substances may cause disruption of the
insulating state and consequently fire.
• Do not expose the appliance to water or moisture. The ingress of water into the
appliance increases the risk of electric shock.
If the power cord is wet or the water has penetrated the water, disconnect it
immediately from the mains. If the appliance is plugged into a mains socket
and if possible, turn off the power circuit before attempting
unplug the power. If you are pulling wet wires from a live power source, be very
careful.
• If the electrical equipment is installed (connecting) the protective covers are
dismantled, the electrical parts must not be accessible to the user when the
installation is finished.
