Safety instructions
Electrical safety
CAUTION!
Danger when touching voltage con-
ducting parts!
Disconnect the plug from the mains if the
extension cable is damaged or severed!
We recommend connecting a RCD (re-
sidual current operated device) having a
nominal residual current of < 30 mA.
The house mains voltage must agree with the
details quoted in the technical data, do not
use any other supply voltage.
Use only extension cables that are suitable
for use outdoors - minimum cross-section
1.5 mm . Cable drums should always be un-
2
rolled completely.
Damaged or brittle extension cables must not
be used.
Check the condition of your extension
cable each time you start to use the
equipment.
Secure the extension cable in the cable strain
relief.
Do not get the appliance wet or expose it to
moisture.
Keep children away from appliances connec-
ted to the mains.
