1. General
1.1 Information on the operating instructions
These operating instructions provide important information on using SMART-FORCE appliances.
To assure safety at the workplace, always observe all safety and handling instructions contained
in this document.
Furthermore, the local accident prevention regulations and general safety determinations
applicable to the operation site of the equipment must also be observed.
Before starting any work you must read these operating instructions thoroughly! They are
a component of the product and must be stored in a known location that is accessible to
personnel at all times.
This documentation contains information about the operation of your appliance, regardless of
which type of appliance it is. For this reason, you will also find explanations that do not relate
directly to your appliance.
All information, technical specifications, graphics and illustrations contained in these Operating
Instructions are based on the most up-to-date data available at the time these instructions
were created.
In addition to thoroughly reading the operating instructions, we also recommend that you
undergo training and instruction in handling (possible uses, operational tactics, etc.) the rescue
equipment from one of our qualified trainers.
