For your safety For your safety 1.1 Terms and signs used In this manual and on the appliance itself, certain common terms and signs are used to warn you of possible dangers or to give you hints that are important in avoiding injury or damage. Observe and follow these notes and regulations to avoid accidents and damage.
For your safety 1.2 Product safety and dangers The appliances described in this manual are technically sophisticated, manufactured using high-quality materials and subject to many hours of testing in the factory. They reflect the state of the art and comply with recognised technical safety regulations. However, there are still risks involved, even when the appliances are used as intended.
For your safety 1.3 Requirements of the operating personnel The appliance may only be operated and maintained by persons who are of legal age and have been instructed accordingly. Personnel who are to be trained, instructed or who are un- dergoing general training may only work with the appliance under the continuous supervision of an experienced person.
For your safety 1.6 Changes and alterations No unauthorised changes or alterations may be made to the appliance. No parts may be added or inserted which have not been approved by the manufacturer. Unauthorised changes or alterations result in the CE declaration of conformity losing its valid- ity, and the appliance may no longer be operated.
