Risk of electric shock
Danger
Danger to life from electric current!
Work at the machine’s electrical equipment may only be performed by qualified personnel.
The respective safety and VDE requirements need to be observed. Improper installation can
cause material damage and personal injury for which the installer is liable.
Faulty connection, insulation faults, foreign objects (dust, liquid due to improper installation environment) or
lack of grounding can cause housing parts to carry voltage. When touching live parts, there is a danger to life
from electric shock. Therefore:
•
Work at the machine
’
s electrical equipment may only be performed by qualified
personnel.
•
Devices with damaged power cable, damaged insulation and/or lack of grounding need
to be separated from the power network (removing the mains plug) and be repaired by
qualified personnel before putting into operation again.
•
Keep humidity away from live parts. This may cause a short circuit.
•
Before working at live parts of the electrical equipment and operating material,
establish a voltage-free condition and ensure that this condition will be kept for the
duration of the work.
•
Never bypass or disable fuses.
•
Connect the power cable to the socket closest to the machine.
•
Only operate the machine with the supply voltage intended for the machine.
•
Only connect the machine to a proper earthed socket.
•
The mains plug must be freely accessible at all times. In case of an emergency, a
complete separation of the machine is effected by unplugging the mains plug.
•
In the event of prolonged absence or bad weather, always switch off the machine at
the main switch and separate it from the power supply by unplugging the mains plug.
