conductive parts, even when these are earthed.
Immediately report any changes that impair safety (including operating behaviour) to
the responsible person.
Only use accessories and disposables recommended or supplied by mbnet
Engineering GmbH. The use of accessories or disposables from other manufacturers
may result in injury, inaccurate information and/or damage to the unit.
