Preventing serious injury or death
Using untested replacement parts poses a risk of serious or lethal injuries as
these parts may fail.
Only use the original spare parts specified in the spare parts list which is
available as a separate document.
Preventing explosion hazards
Operation, maintenance and repair of the unit in explosive atmospheres may
lead to serious injuries or death.
Only operate, maintain and repair the unit in areas with no explosive
atmosphere (measure safe levels first).
Preventing electric shock
Electric shock can cause serious or even lethal injuries!
Check the electric supply cable for damage.
Only use the unit if the cable is in perfect condition.
Disconnect the mains plug before carrying out electrical work on the unit or
before cleaning the unit.
Use tools which are insulated up to at least 370 V.
If you detect a broken cable with a continuity tester, replace the defective
cable.
Only clean the unit dry. Do not clean the unit with a high-pressure cleaner,
cold cleaners or water.
Preventing burns from fire
Short circuits can cause fires and result in serious burns.
