Electrical safety
CAUTION! The following
states how to avoid acci-
dents and injuries due to
electric shock:
• Use the tension relief provided
for the fixing of the extension
cord.
• Damaged cables, coupling and
plugs or connecting leads not
corresponding to specifica-
tions, must not be employed.
Remove the plug immediately
from the plug socket in case of
damage to the mains cable.
Do not touch the mains power
supply cable under any cir-
cumstances until you have pul-
led the plug out of the mains
socket.
• If the power cable for this
equipment is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufac-
turer, a customer service agent
of the same or a similarly qua-
lified person in order to prevent
hazards.
• Do not use the appliance if the
on/off switch does not work
properly. Always have a da-
maged switch repaired by our
Service Centre
• Only use extension cables that
have been approved for out-
door use and are resistant to
splash water. The core diame-
ter for extension cables must
be at least 2.5 mm². Always
roll the whole cable off the reel
before use. Check the cable
for damage.
