5. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read the operating instructions carefully and especially observe the safety
information. If you do not follow the safety instructions and information on proper
handling in this manual, we assume no liability for any resulting personal injury or
damage to property. Such cases will invalidate the warranty/guarantee.
Persons / Product
• The device is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
• Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. These may become dangerous
playing material for children.
• Protect the product from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, strong jolts, high
humidity, moisture, flammable gases, vapours and solvents.
• Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
• If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and
protect it from any accidental use. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed if the
product:
- is visibly damaged,
- is no longer working properly,
- has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or
- has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.
• Please handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height can
damage the product.
• Also observe the safety and operating instructions of any other devices which are
connected to the product.
• Products operated using the mains voltage must be kept out of the reach of children.
For this reason, be particularly careful when using the product in the presence of
children. They may try to stick objects into the device through openings in the housing.
This poses a risk of death by electric shock.
• Never pour liquids over electrical appliances and never leave objects filled with liquids
(e.g. vases) on it or in the vicinity. There is a high risk of fire or life-threatening electric
shock.
• Operate the product in dry interior spaces only. It must not get damp or wet. Otherwise
there is a risk of a life-threatening electric shock!
• In schools, training facilities, hobby or self-service workshops, handling of electrical
devices must be monitored by trained personnel.
• When operating on commercial premises, the relevant accident prevention regulations
of workers’ compensation boards for electrical equipment must be observed.
• Live parts may become exposed when opening covers or removing parts. You must
therefore disconnect the product from all power sources before performing any
maintenance or repairs. Capacitors in the device can still carry a charge even if the
device has been disconnected from all voltage sources.
• Always lay the cables so that nobody can trip over or become entangled in them. This
poses a risk of injury.
