The power source must be placed on an even, firm floor in such a way that it
stands firmly. A power source that topples over can easily kill someone!
Special regulations apply to rooms at risk from fire and/or explosion
- observe all relevant national and international regulations.
By means of internal instructions and checks, ensure that the workplace and
the area around it are always kept clean and tidy.
Only operate the power source if all its protective features are fully
functional.
Before switching on the power source, ensures that nobody can be
endangered by your turning on the machine.
At least once a week, check the power source for any damage that may be
visible from the outside, and check that the safety features all function
correctly.
