Then insert the plug in such a way that the guide-
ways (2) in the plug slide without much effort into
the slots (1) of the receptacle (refer to

In doing so, take care
-
that plug and receptacle are aligned axially (a
plug set diagonally by more than 8 ° cannot be
plugged by hand anymore!),
-
that the plug is completely (flush) inserted in
the receptacle.
