Electric shock

Mains voltage is applied to the electrical connections. This can lead to elec-
tric shock.

1.

Work on the electrical installation may only be performed by special-
ized personnel.

2.

Work on the electrical components may only be performed by special-
ized personnel.

3.

Ensure that live components do not get wet.

4.

Observe the applicable regulations.

Operate only undam-

aged equipment

1.

After unpacking the device, check that all components are in pristine
shape and are not damaged in any way.

2.

To ensure safety, never operate damaged components. Consult the
manufacturer.

Safe operation of the de-

vice

1.

Operate the device only when it is connected to an electrical outlet with
residual current circuit breaker.

2.

Only operate the device with the insulation and/or casing fully installed.

3.

Make sure that the housing and/or the casing on the device is undam-
aged, complete, and correctly installed.

Safe use of the device

1.

Do 

not

 use the device in a flammable or explosive environment, e.g.

rich in hydrogen or oxygen.

2.

Do 

not

 use the device with flammable or explosive carrier gases, e.g.

rich in hydrogen or oxygen.

Aerosols

Aerosols can be inhaled and may be hazardous to human health.

1.

Prevent the produced aerosol from being released into the environ-
ment.

2.

Avoid coming into direct contact with the produced aerosol.

3.

Wear suitable personal protective equipment when appropriate.

Compliance with work

regulations

4

Comply with the accident prevention regulations issued by the employ-
ers’ liability insurance association as well as with local and national
work regulations.
