• Keep your work area clean and tidy.26 d) Electrical safety

• The product is built according to protection class I. It must be powered by a standard earthed mains socket.

• The mains socket that you use to connect the power cable must be easily accessible.

• Beforeconnectingtheproduct,makesurethatthemainsvoltageinyourregionmeetsthespecications on the name plate. Only connect the product to the mains socket when it is switched off.

• Do not pull the mains plug from the mains socket by pulling on the cable.

• Do not touch the mains cable or the workstation if there are any signs of damage, as this may cause a fatal electric shock!

• Ifthemainscableisdamaged,itmustbereplacedbyanewmainscablewiththesamespecications. Stop using the damaged mains cable and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner. Do not attempt to repair the damaged mains cable.

• Never use the product immediately after it has been brought from a cold room into a warm one. This may generate condensation, which can cause the product to malfunction or damage the interior components. Moisture on the workstation, mains cable may also cause a fatal electric shock!

• Never work on live electrical components or parts. Always disconnect these components from the power supply beforehand.

• CAUTION! If liquid does enter the workstation, switch off the mains voltage to the socket containing the mains plug (switchoffatthecorrespondingcircuitbreakerorremovethesafetyfuseandthenswitchoffatthecor- respondingRCDprotectiveswitch).Youcanthenunplugthepowercablefromthemainssocket. Discontinue use immediately and take the product to a specialist repair shop, or dispose of it in an envi- ronmentally friendly manner. e) Connected devices
