5. Safety Notes
Read the operating instructions attentively and particularly observe the safety notes. If the
safety notes and the information in these operating instructions regarding proper handling are
not observed, we assume no liability for any resulting injury/property damage. In such cases, the
warranty/guarantee will also lapse.

Maintenance, adjustment, or repair work must only be carried out by a specialist/a specialist workshop.
The device contains no parts that require servicing or adjusting by you.
•
The product is not a toy and must be kept out of reach of children!
The product must only be set up, used or stored in places that are not accessible to children. The same

sociation for Electrical Systems and Operating Materials are to be observed.
•

Handle the product with care; impacts, shock or fall even from low heights will damage it.
•
If you are not sure about the correct operation or if questions arise which are not covered by the operat-
ing instructions, please do not hesitate to contact us or another specialist.
b) Mains cable/mains voltage
•
Before connecting the charger to the mains voltage, the right mains voltage must be set at the charger.
For this, put the voltage selection switch into the correct position (115 V/AC or 230 V/AC). If this is not
observed, the charger will be destroyed. Loss of warranty/guarantee!
•
Product setup corresponds to protection class I. It must only be connected to a proper protective contact
mains socket. Observe that the housing or mains line insulation is not damaged or destroyed.
•
The mains socket to which the plug-in mains unit is connected must be easily accessible.
•
Do not pull the mains plug from the mains socket by pulling the cable.
•
If the mains cable or charger are damaged, do not touch it. Danger to life from electric shock!
First switch off the mains voltage for the mains socket to which the mains cable is connected (switch
off the corresponding circuit breaker or take out the fuse, then switch off the fault interrupter protection
switch (FI circuit breaker) so that the mains socket is separated from the mains voltage on all poles).
Only then unplug the mains unit from the mains socket.
