(according to Low-Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC)
1. General
Some parts of Lenze motor starters can be live, moving and rotating, depending on their protection class. Surfaces
can be hot.
Non-authorized removal o f the required cover, inappropriate use, incorrect installation or opera tion, creates the risk
of severe injury to persons o r damage to material assets.
For further information, please see the documentation provided.
All operations concerning transport, installation, and commissioning as well as maintenance must be carried out by

national regula tions for the prevention of accidents must be observed).
Accordingto this basicsafety information qualified skilledpersonnel are personswho are familiar with theinstallation,
assembly, commissioning, and operation of the product and who have the qualifications necessary for their
occupation.
2. Application as directed
