Observe the safety notes listed here and the warnings in other
chapters of the manual to minimise health hazards and avert

DANGER!
Danger to life through electric shock!
Contact with live parts poses imminent danger to
life. Damaged insulation or individual components
can be lethal.
Therefore:
– Immediately switch off the power supply and
initiate repairs if the insulation is damaged.
– Work on the electrical system may only be
performed by electricians.
– Before working on the electrical system,
disconnect from the mains (remove mains plug)
and check that power is off.
– Always disconnect mains before performing
cleaning and repair tasks.
– Keep moisture from live parts. Moisture may
cause a short-circuit.
Rechargeable and primary batteries contain toxic heavy metals.
They must be treated as special refuse and deposited at municipal
collection points or be disposed of by a specialised company.
