DMX controller that is connected to the device. Persons staying near the device

could be injured or frightened.
Before you turn on the device and during the operation, always ensure that

nobody stays close to the device. If work has to be performed in the area of move‐

ment or in the near vicinity of the device, it must remain turned off.

NOTICE!
