Electrical devices can represent a dan-
ger to pets and livestock. In addition,
animals can also cause damage to the
device. For this reason you should keep
animals away from electrical devices at
all times.

Never touch the device with wet hands.
DANGER! Risk of electric
shock
Do not use the device if the device or the
power cable has any visible damage, or if
the device has previously been dropped.
Lay the power cable such that no one
can step on it, get caught on it, or trip
over it.
Only connect the mains plug to a prop-
erly installed and easily accessible wall
socket whose voltage corresponds to
the specifications on the rating plate.
The wall socket must still be easily ac-
cessible after connection.
Ensure that the power cable cannot be
damaged by sharp edges or hot spots.
Do not wrap the power cable around the
device (Danger! Risk of cable damage!).
Ensure that the power cable cannot be
trapped or crushed.
To pull the mains plug out of the wall
socket, always pull on the mains plug,
