The unit has been designed and manufactured in line with current technological standards and recog-
nised technical safety regulations. Nevertheless, the unit can pose a hazard to the life and health of
users or third parties throughout its entire service life and can cause damage to itself or other material
assets.
This chapter provides information on the basic structure of warnings, possible residual risks when using
the unit and on how to avoid the resulting hazards. This information must be supplemented by statutory
provisions and locally applicable regulations, which can be very different depending on the place of in-
stallation and intended application.
