installed on an adequately stable surface. • The
unit must only be used in dry rooms.
l Operator and operating personnel
The unit must only be operated by dental

the machine is operated. • Observe the national
accident prevention regulations in addition to
this operating manual.
l Handling the machine
Prior to connection to the power supply check
whether the specifications on the rating plate
correspond to the supply network. In the case
of uncertainty, consult an electrician. • The
unit is categorised under protection class 1
and may only be connected to properly earthed
power sources (earth contact sockets). •
Modifications of the machine are not
permitted. • Always keep signs and stickers such
that they are easy to read. They must not be
removed. • Check the machine and leads for
damage regularly. The machine must not be
operated if it has any defects that may result in
risks for the employees or third persons. • Protect
the leads against heat, oil and sharp edges. The
leads must not be used to carry the machine or to
pull out the mains plug.
l Care and maintenance
Always switch off the machine and pull out the
mains plug before performing care, cleaning or
maintenance work. • Only use dry or slightly
moist cloths for cleaning. Do not spray the
machine with water or immerse it in water.
l Repairs
Repairs may be carried out solely by BEGO
customer service or by persons authorised by
BEGO customer service. • Metallic housings
must be grounded properly so as to prevent them
from carrying current. Otherwise they are
extremely dangerous because the housings may be
live due to damage to the machine! Since a check
to ensure that the housing is in a de-energized
state is mandatory every time the machine has
been opened (Germany: check in accordance with
DIN VDE 0701-1), only qualified electricians may
open the machine! • Only BEGO replacement and
wearing parts may be used.
