Preventing electric shock WARNING!
Electric shock
► Set up devices which can be operated with the electricity supply so
that the power supply socket is within easy reach and the power
supply can be disconnected quickly.
► Ensure that your local power supply matches the details on the
device.
► Connect this device only to a power supply with a protective earth
facility.
► Do not connect the device to a power supply network if there is any
uncertainty about whether the protective earth is functioning. In this
case, use the device exclusively in rechargeable battery mode.
