On use of electrical appliances
Safety instructions according to EN 60745-1:
Work area
Keep your work area clean and tidy. A messy or unlit work area can cause accidents.
Keep children and other persons at a distance when using the product.
Electrical safety
The plug on the unit must fit in the socket. Do not modify the plug in any way. Never use
an adapter in combination with earthed appliances. Using an unmodified plug and a
suitable socket will reduce the risk of an electric shock.
Keep the appliance away from rain or damp. Allowing water to get into an electric
appliance will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not misuse the cable by using it to remove the plug from the socket. Always remove
whilst holding onto the plug. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or the
moving parts of other appliances. Using damaged or tangled cables increases the risk of
electric shock.
Potential risk of fire due to heat build-up. Unwind the cable from the spool to prevent any
heat build-up or cable fire. The coupling must have splash protection, must be made of
rubber or be rubber-coated.
Safety guidelines for persons

alcohol or medication.
Just one moment of inattention whilst using the appliance can result in serious injury.
Make sure the appliance cannot be switched on unintentionally. Double check that the
main switch is in the "OFF" position before inserting the plug in the socket. Connecting
the appliance to the power supply while it is switched on can cause an accident.
