Always plug in the power plug last. The power plug must always be inserted without force. Make sure that
the plug is tightly connected with the outlet.
Never let the power-cord come into contact with other cables! Handle the power-cord and all connections
with the mains with particular caution! Never touch them with wet hands, as this could lead to mortal
electrical shock.
Never modify, bend, strain mechanically, put pressure on, pull or heat up the power cord. Never operate next
to sources of heat or cold. Disregard can lead to power cord damages, fire or mortal electrical shock.
The cable insert or the female part in the device must never be strained. There must always be sufficient
cable to the device. Otherwise, the cable may be damaged which may lead to mortal damage.
Make sure that the power-cord is never crimped or damaged by sharp edges. Check the device and the
power-cord from time to time.
If extension cords are used, make sure that the core diameter is sufficient for the required power
consumption of the device. All warnings concerning the power cords are also valid for possible extension
cords.
Always disconnect from the mains, when the device is not in use or before cleaning it. Only handle the
power-cord by the plug. Never pull out the plug by tugging the power-cord. Otherwise, the cable or plug can
be damaged leading to mortal electrical shock. If the power plug or the power switch is not accessible, the
device must be disconnected via the mains.
If the power plug or the device is dusty, the device must be taken out of operation, disconnected and then be
cleaned with a dry cloth. Dust can reduce the insulation which may lead to mortal electrical shock. More
severe dirt in and at the device should only be removed by a specialist.
There must never enter any liquid into power outlets, extension cords or any holes in the housing of the
device. If you suppose that also a minimal amount of liquid may have entered the device, it must immediately
be disconnected. This is also valid, if the device was exposed to high humidity. Also if the device is still
running, the device must be checked by a specialist if the liquid has reduced any insulation. Reduced
insulation can cause mortal electrical shock.
There must never be any objects entering into the device. This is especially valid for metal parts. If any metal
parts like staples or coarse metal chips enter into the device, the device must be taken out of operation and
disconnected immediately. Malfunction or short-circuits caused by metal parts may cause mortal injuries.
The total weight of the installation (=total weight of all individual parts) must never exceed the maximum load
of the dimmer bar.
The stand must only be installed on a plane area with a maximum inclination angle of 5°.
Caution:
Stands may cause severe injuries when crashing!
When using stands under the influence of horizontal forces, e.g. through wind, the standing safety can be
impaired. This is why additional safety measures like attaching ballast weights have to be taken.
If inclined tension cables or prolonged outriggers are used, the area of danger has to be marked or even be
blocked.
Before lifting or lowering the telescopic tubes, you must alway block a safety area around the stand. This
safety area must have a diameter of 1.5 times the maximum height.
Lifted telescopic tubes always have to be secured with a secondary securing!
All devices, lighting effects and crossbeams attached on the dimmer bar must be secured with an
appropriate safety-rope!
Before taking into operation, every stand has to be checked upon possible damages.
