DANGER
Danger to life caused by electric current!
Touching conductive parts causes a direct danger to life. Damage
to insulation or individual components can cause danger to life.
Therefore:
• In the event of damage to insulation, switch off the power supply
immediately and have the parts repaired.
• Work on the electrical system must be carried out only by profes-
sional electricians.
• De-energize the system for all work on the electrical system.
• Before maintenance, cleaning or repair work, switch off the power
supply and perform lockout procedures so it cannot be turned on
again.
• Do not bridge fuses or make them ineffective. When changing
fuses, make sure you use the correct amperage.
• Keep moisture away from conductive parts. If you do not, this can
cause short circuit.
WARNING
Danger of injury caused by moving components!
Rotating and/or linearly moving components can cause severe
injury.
Therefore:
Do not work on or place any of your body, hands, or arms near
moving components.
