5 Safety Notices

Warnings

• Before turning on the instrument, you must connect the protective earth
terminal of the instrument to the protective conductor of the (mains) power
cord. The mains plug shall only be inserted in a socket outlet provided with
a protective earth contact. You must not negate the protective action by
using an extension cord (power cable) without a protective conductor
(grounding). Grounding one conductor of a two-conductor outlet is not
sufficient protection.
• Only fuses with the required rated current, voltage, and specified type
(normal blow, time delay, etc.) should be used. Do not use repaired fuses or
short-circuited fuse holders. To do so could cause a shock or fire hazard.
• If you energize this instrument by an auto transformer (for voltage
reduction or mains isolation), the common terminal must be connected to
the earth terminal of the power source.
• Whenever it is likely that the ground protection is impaired, you must make
the instrument inoperative and secure it against any unintended operation.
• Service instructions are for trained service personnel. To avoid dangerous
electric shock, do not perform any service unless qualified to do so. Do not
attempt internal service or adjustment unless another person, capable of
rendering first aid and resuscitation, is present.
• Do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modification to
the instrument.
• Capacitors inside the instrument may retain a charge even if the
instrument is disconnected from its source of supply.
• Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gasses or
fumes. Operation of any electrical instrument in such an environment
constitutes a definite safety hazard.
• Do not use the instrument in a manner not specified by the manufacturer.
• To optimize your comfort and productivity, it is important that you set up
your work area correctly and use your equipment properly. Refer to

use recommendations
• Position equipment so that it is not difficult to disconnect the power cord.
