Safety information
Before commencing mounting work on roofs, set up
mechanical (i.e. non-human) fall protection devices
and fall arrest systems in accordance with DIN 18338
on roof sealing and roof covering works and DIN
18451 on scaffolding work with safety nets before
starting work! See also German builders' protection
ordinance Bauarbeiterschutzverordnung) BGBL 340/
1994 §7-10!
If mechanical fall protection or fall arrest systems
cannot be installed for technical reasons, safety
harnesses must be used!
Only use safety harnesses (safety belts, lanyards and
straps, shock absorbers, fall arresters) which have
been tested and certified by authorised testing
bodies.
If no mechanical fall protection or fall arrest systems
are provided, working without suitable safety
harnesses can lead to falls from great heights, thus
causing serious or lethal injuries!
Ladders not properly secured against sinking in,
sliding or falling over may lead to dangerous falls!
Only work in the vicinity of live overhead electric
cables where contact is possible if:
- they are voltage-free and this state is secured for
the duration of the work.
- the live sections are secured by covering them or
cordoning them off.
- the safety distances are observed.
Voltage radius:
1 m with voltages ........................up to 1000 volt
3 m with voltages ........... from 1000 to 11000 volt
4 m with voltages ......... from 11000 to 22000 volt
5 m with voltages ......... from 22000 to 38000 volt
>5 m when the voltage rating is not known
The manufacturer hereby guarantees to take back
products marked with an eco-label and to recycle the
materials used.
Only the heat transfer medium specified may be
used!
When exposed to solar radiation, the solar panel
terminals may become extremely hot. These
components can cause serious burns! Always wear
safety gloves and, while installing, protect the solar
panel from reaching high temperatures due to solar
radiation.
For reasons of safety, charging should only be carried
out during periods where there is no solar radiation
or when the solar panels are covered

Safety harnesses should be fixed above the users
where possible. Safety harnesses should only be
fastened to structures or fixing points with sufficient
load-bearing capacity!
Do not use damaged ladders, e.g. wooden ladders
with split runners or rungs, or bent or buckled metal
ladders. Do not try to repair broken runners, rungs
or steps on wooden ladders!
Ensure that ladders are put up safely. Observe the
correct leaning angle (68° - 75°). Prevent ladders
from sliding, falling over or sinking into the ground,
e.g. by using wider feet, feet adapted for the ground
or hooking devices.
Only lean ladders against secure points. Cordon off
ladders in traffic areas.
Contact with live overhead electric cables can be
lethal.
Wear protective goggles when drilling!
Wear safety shoes when carrying out installation
work!
Wear cut-proof safety gloves when carrying out
installation work!
Wear a helmet when carrying out installation work!
