Read the operating instructions and safety information carefully. If you do not follow the safety
information and information on proper handling in these operating instruction, we will assume
no liability for any resulting personal injury or damage to property. Such cases will invalidate the
warranty/guarantee.
a) General information
• The device is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.

flammable gases, vapours and solvents.
• Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
• If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, stop using it and prevent unauthorised use. Safe
operation can no longer be guaranteed if the product:
- is visibly damaged,

• Always handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height may damage the

that children or pets may swallow them.
