Danger!
When using the equipment, a few safety precautions
must be observed to avoid injuries and damage.
Please read the complete operating instructions and
safety information with due care. Keep these
operating instructions in a safe place so that the

Position the power cable so that there is no
n
danger of tripping over it.
Do not pass the power cable over hot parts of the
