Safety information
The device should only be used if it can be operated safely. When it is assembled on scaffolding the
device should only be mounted on the inside of the scaffolding in the upper section of the backrest. After
it has been mounted the device is to be prevented from falling by securing the supplied tension strap to
the lower section of the backrest. Feed the tension strap through the gap between the transformer and
transformer cover (on the rear side of the device), then feed it behind the scaffolding pole and back into
the strap fastener and pull the strap tight.
If the device is to be mounted on the freestanding support (art. no. 57 00 50), suspend the device via the upper cross-
member of the support and secure it to the lower cross-member as described above.
If it is not possible to secure the device, or the lower section of the backrest is missing, the device should not be opera-
ted! After installing the device at the designated location make sure that it is stable.
If an installed device is left unattended, protect it against external influences and unauthorised use.
Remove the mains plug. The operator of the device is responsible for making sure that any sources of
danger and potential tripping hazards in the vicinity of the device are eliminated (e.g. unsecured power
cables, packaging, etc.).
Faults, troubleshooting
A regular and careful cleaning and maintenance schedule is required to ensure trouble-free operation.
The transformer should be disconnected from the socket during troubleshooting measures. Remove the
mains plug!
If the wire does not heat up, check the 230 V power supply. Check or replace the transformer fuse (art. no. 570004).
If this does not resolve the malfunction, contact the STORCH service department or one of the STORCH service cen-
tres in your area. Do not attempt to repair the transformer yourself and do not replace it with a type not approved by
STORCH. Other malfunctions that require the device to be repaired may only be performed by qualified STORCH per-
sonnel or one of the authorised STORCH service centres.
Personnel qualification
The device should only be assembled, commissioned, operated, maintained and cleaned by those persons
who are authorised, qualified and trained to do so.
Spare parts, consumables
All of the device components are available from STORCH and its distribution partners. We recommend that you keep
sufficient quantities of the original cutting wire (d=0.7 mm) (art. no. 57 00 46) and fine wire fuses 8A (art. no. 57 00
04) in stock.
