The purpose of the safety rules is to attract your attention to possible dangers. The safety symbols 
and the explanations with them, require your careful attention and understanding. The safety war-
nings do not by themselves eliminate any danger. The instruction or warnings they give are not 
substitutes for proper accident prevention measures.

Always follow the safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury.

under some circumstances interfere with active or passive medical implants. To reduce the risk of 
serious or fatal injury, we recommend persons with medical implants to consult their physician and
