•
Keep the workplace tidy. Do not leave any flammable materials lying around when you are
using the device.
•
The product is only designed for household use, not industrial use.
•
The power adapter is constructed with protection class II. Only a proper mains socket
(230 V/AC, 50 Hz) of the public supply net must be used as voltage source.
•
The hot wire cutter is constructed according to protection class III. It does not have a connection
for a protective insulation and must not be connected to the protective earth.
•
Never pour any liquids over electrical devices or put objects filled with liquid right next to the
device. If liquid or an object enters the interior of the device nevertheless, first power down the
respective socket (e.g. switch off circuit breaker) and then pull the mains plug from the mains
socket. Do not operate the product anymore afterwards, but take it to a specialist workshop.
•
Never use the product immediately after it has been brought from a cold room into a warm one.
The condensation generated could destroy the product. The plug-in power supply unit also
involves danger to life by electric shock! Allow the product to reach room temperature before
connecting it to the power supply and putting it to use. This may take several hours.
•
If the wall plug transformer is damaged, do not touch it; there is danger to life from electric
shock! First, switch off the mains voltage to the mains socket to which the wall plug transformer
is connected (switch off at the corresponding circuit breaker or remove the safety fuse, then
switch off at the corresponding RCD protective switch, so that all poles of the mains socket are
disconnected). You can then unplug the wall plug transformer from the mains socket. Dispose
of the faulty wall plug transformer in an environmentally friendly way; do not use it any more.
Replace it with a wall plug transformer of the same design.
•
As power supply, only use the supplied mains adapter.
•
Only connect the power adapter to a normal mains socket connected to the public supply.
Before plugging in the power adapter, check whether the voltage stated on the power adapter
complies with the voltage of your electricity supplier.
•
Never connect or disconnect power adapters if your hands are wet.
•
Never unplug the power adapter from the mains socket by pulling on the cable; always use
the grips on the plug.
•
For safety reasons, disconnect the power adapter from the mains socket during storms.
•
Only use the cutting wire included with the product, otherwise the mains adapter may be
damaged.
•
When setting up the product, make sure that the cable is not pinched, kinked or damaged by
sharp edges.
•
Always lay the cables so that nobody can trip over or become entangled in them. This poses
a risk of injury.
