Personal Safety Considerations
This is a Safety Class I product (provided with a protective earthing
ground incorporated in the power cord). The mains plug shall only be
inserted in a socket outlet provided with a protective earth contact. Any
interruption of the protective conductor, inside or outside the instrument,
is likely to make the instrument dangerous. Intentional interruption is
prohibited

personnel. To prevent electrical shock, do not remove covers.
For continued protection against fire hazard, replace the line fuse(s)
only with fuses of the same type and rating (for example, normal blow,
time delay, etc.). The use of other fuses or material is prohibited.
WARNING Before this instrument is switched on, make sure it has been properly
grounded through the protective conductor of the ac power cable to a
socket outlet provided with protective earth contact.
Any interruption of the protective (grounding) conductor, inside or
outside the instrument, or disconnection of the protective earth terminal
can result in personal injury.
