Safety precautions
WARNING!
Please observe the safety precautions
!
Protect the device from moisture.
Outdoor operation in the rain is prohibited.
Only use dry utensils when cleaning; do not use any cleaning agents that contain solvents.
Fumes are generated during the cutting process. These fumes contain extremely small
amounts of styrene that are far below the permitted limit values.
The wire gets very hot. If it comes into contact with the skin, it will inevitably result in burns.
Use of protective gloves is recommended. The wire is subjected to mechanical tension
(spring force). If the hot wire ruptures, it can generate sparks. The use of protective goggles is
therefore recommended. The hot wire (ignition source) represents a fire hazard; make sure any
flammable objects are maintained at a safe distance.
If the connecting cable (or plug) is damaged, it must be replaced immediately.
Repairs to electrical components should only be conducted by an electrician or
a STORCH service centre!
Before replacing the cutting wire the device must be disconnected from the power socket!
Only use special STORCH replacement cutting wire (d = 0.7 mm),
art. no. 57 00 46. The use of other wires can damage the device, the transformer and result
in subsequent damage.
When connected to the power supply the transformer generates heat, even when the device
is switched off. Make sure that this heat can be emitted freely and that it does not affect any
heat-sensitive objects, otherwise these could be turned into a potential source of danger.
The device should only be used if it can be operated safely. When it is assembled on scaffol-
ding the device should only be mounted on the inside of the scaffolding in the upper section of
the backrest. After it has been mounted in the upper section the device is to be secured and
prevented from falling by securing the locking bolt on the scaffolding mount (rear side of the
device).
If it is not possible to secure the device or the lower section of the backrest is missing, the
device should not be operated! After installing the device at the designated location make sure
that it is stable.
If an installed device is left unattended, protect it against external influences and unauthorised
use. Remove the mains plug. The operator of the device is responsible for making sure that
any sources of danger and potential tripping hazards in the vicinity of the device are eliminated
(e.g. unsecured power cables, packaging, etc.).
