• Always unplug the mains plug or make sure that the device is without current before opening a device.
• Start operation of components, assemblies or devices only if they are protected in a housing. They must be currentless
during building in.
• Tools may only be used with devices, components or assemblies, if it is sure that the devices are separated from power
supply and electrical loads, being stored in the components contained in the device, have been discharged before.
• Live cables or lines connecting the device with the component or assembly must always be examined for defective
insulation or breaks. In case of detection of a defective cable, the device must be shut down immediately until the defective
cable has been replaced.
• In case of using components or assemblies, it is required to always make reference to the strict compliance with the rating
for electrical sizes stated in the pertinent instructions.
• If present instructions for non-commercial consumers do not clearly indicate the electrical rating applying for a component
or an assembly, how to perform an external switching or the external components or additional devices to be connected as
well as the connecting values of these external components, always contact a qualified electrician for information.
• Before the initial operation of a device, you generally have to test, whether this device or assembly is generally suited for
the intended use! In case of doubt ask qualified electricians, experts, or the manufacturer of the assemblies used!
Please take note that we are not responsible for operation and/or connection errors. We cannot assume any liability for
