Improper handling of the device and its components.
 The handle lies on the workpiece or work surface in such
a way that the carbon fiber brush comes into contact with
the metal surface. In this case, electricity continues to
flow.
If the components are connected incorrectly, stray currents can
lead to the destruction of electrical protective conductors.
 Defective live cables.
 Damaged or defective switching elements.

Defective connectors.
