4.8 Warning – dangers caused by
electrical current
Warning:
Risk of electric shock!
Particularly important for
electrical safety are the
power cable, mains plug,
On / Off switch and
electric cable. Damaged cables,
connectors and plugs, or electric
cables that do not conform to
regulations must not be used, to
prevent any risk of electric shocks.
Therefore, check the electric cable
regularly for signs of damage or
ageing (brittleness).
Never use a damaged extension cable.
Replace defective cables with new ones
and never repair extension cables.
Never use the machine if the cables are
damaged or worn. Check the power cable
in particular for damage and ageing.
Maintenance and repair work on power
cables must only be performed by
specially qualified technicians.
