1.3
Regarding the power supply
The appliance is charged and operated
with electrical power which means there is in
principle a risk of electric shock. Pay particular
attention to the following:
- Never touch the power unit with wet
hands.
- If you want to pull the power unit out of the
socket, always pull directly on the plug.
Never pull on the cable as it could break.
- Make sure that the power cable is not
bent, caught or run over, and that it does
not come into contact with heat sources.
- Never immerse the appliance in water or
other fluids and keep it away from rain
and moisture.
- Only charge the appliance if the electrical
voltage stated on the power unit matches
the voltage of your socket. Wrong voltage
can destroy the power unit.
