Persons / Product
• The device was constructed according to protection class II. Only a proper mains socket (230 V/AC, 50 Hz)
of the public supply net must be used as voltage source.
• In order to completely separate the device from the mains, the mains plug must be pulled out of the power
socket. Make sure that the mains plug is always accessible and reachable.
• Never pull the mains plug from the socket by pulling at the cable. Always pull it from the mains socket using
the intended grips.
• Unplug the mains plug from the mains socket if you do not use the device for an extended period of time.
• Disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket in thunderstorms for reasons of safety.
• Make sure that the mains cable is not squeezed, bent, damaged by sharp edges or put under mechanical
stress. Avoid excessive thermal stress on the mains cable from extreme heat or cold. Do not modify the
mains cable. Otherwise the mains cable may be damaged. A damaged mains cable can cause a deadly
electric shock.
• Do not touch the mains cable if it is damaged. First, power down the respective mains socket (e.g. via the
respective circuit breaker) and then carefully pull the mains plug from the mains socket. Never use the
product if the mains cable is damaged.
• A damaged mains cable may only be replaced by the manufacturer, a workshop commissioned by the
manufacturer or a similarly qualified person, so as to prevent any danger.
• Never plug in or unplug the mains plug when your hands are wet.
• Never pour any liquids over electrical devices or put objects filled with liquid right next to the device. If liquid
or an object enters the interior of the device nevertheless, first power down the respective socket (e.g.
switch off circuit breaker) and then pull the mains plug from the mains socket. Do not operate the product
anymore afterwards, but take it to a specialist workshop.
• Make sure the device is sufficiently ventilated when in operation. Never cover the device with magazines,
curtains, etc. Never place the device on a soft surface such as, for example, a carpet or a bed, etc. This can
prevent dissipation of heat from the device and may lead to overheating.
• Do not place open flames, such as burning candles, on or close to the device.
• Do not listen to excessively loud music over an extended period of time. This may damage your hearing.
• The device is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
• Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. These may become dangerous playing material
for children.
• Protect the product from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, strong jolts, high humidity, moisture,
flammable gases, vapours and solvents.
• Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
• Please handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height can damage the product.
(Rechargeable) batteries
• Correct polarity must be observed while inserting the (rechargeable) batteries.
• (Rechargeable) batteries should be removed from the device if it is not used for a long period of time to
avoid damage through leaking. Leaking or damaged (rechargeable) batteries might cause acid burns when
in contact with skin, therefore use suitable protective gloves to handle corrupted (rechargeable) batteries.
• (Rechargeable) batteries must be kept out of reach of children. Do not leave (rechargeable) batteries lying
around, as there is risk, that children or pets swallow them.
• All (rechargeable) batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing old and new (rechargeable)
batteries in the device can lead to (rechargeable) battery leakage and device damage.
• (Rechargeable) batteries must not be dismantled, short-circuited or thrown into fire. Never recharge non-
rechargeable batteries. There is a risk of explosion!
Miscellaneous
• Consult an expert when in doubt about operation, safety or connection of the device.
• Maintenance, modifications and repairs are to be performed exclusively by an expert or at a qualified shop.
• If you have questions which remain unanswered by these operating instructions, contact our technical
support service or other technical personnel.
