- 22 -
Only a qualified technician and using original spare parts and
accessories should carry out repairs and maintenance of the
device. Do not attempt to repair the device yourself.
Do not use any accessory or spare parts that have not been
recommended by the manufacturer. These can be dangerous
for the user or lead to damages of the device or personal injury,
and further, the warranty expires.
To prevent hazards and to ensure optimum efficiency, no
modifications or alterations to the device that are not explicitly
approved by the manufacturer may be undertaken.
DANGER! Electric shock hazard!
To avoid the hazard results please follow the safety instructions
below.
Never allow the power cable to come into contact with heat
sources or sharp edges. The power cable should not hang over
the side of the working surface. Ensure that no one can step on
or trip over the cable.
The power cable must not be folded, bent or tangled, and must
always remain fully unrolled. Never place the device or other
objects on the power cable.
Do not lay the power cable over carpets or other inflammable
materials. Do not cover the cable. Keep away the cable from
operating range.
Check the power cord regularly for damage. Do not use the
device if the power cord is damaged. If this cable is damaged, it

In any case do not open the device housing. In case of
electrical or mechanical modifications the electric shock
hazard will occur.
Do not use any acid agents and make sure no water ingresses
the device.
Never operate the device with moist hands or standing on wet
floor.
Remove the plug from its socket:
-when the device is not used,
-in case of anomalies during operation,
-before cleaning.
WARNING! Danger of injury!

WARNING! The residual risk results from removing of
permanent covers and tampering with damaged/used parts!
The operating person absolutely must not attempt to open or
remove the permanent covers or protective elements.
During completion, maintenance and cleaning and other similar
manual activities, connected with placing hands or other body
parts in the hazardous areas, there is the residual risk which
may result in:
1. hitting the device parts,
2. abrasion and/or scratches due to contact with rough
device parts,
3. injuries with sharp parts,
4. cuts due to contact with sharp parts.

- 25 -
Due to necessity of placing hands in the vicinity of the knife
during cleaning or removing the residuals there is a residual
risk consisting in the possibility of injuries with sharp parts.
Therefore the operating and maintaining persons must be
trained in range of operations with removed covers and
must be informed of resulting hazards, as well as authorized
by the responsible person.
They must also use appropriate personal protective measures
or wear the anti-cut gloves.
