serious injuries if the safety measures are not
followed.
This lifting column system is only intended for installing and then
being used as an electrically height adjustable sitting / standing
workstation in accordance with EN 527 in indoor commercial en-
vironments. This means the lifting column system is only intended
for this purpose.
Any other use beyond this, e.g. outside the technical specifica-
tions (see Section 4.1), is deemed to be incorrect use.
Note
i
Do not use the lifting column system in a private
environment but only in commercial premises.
In this context, always follow Section 3 "Safety".
Intended use also includes following the operating, servicing and
maintenance conditions prescribed by the manufacturer.
Unauthorised changes to the lifting column system will result in
the loss of product liability and liability on the part of the manu-
facturer for resultant damage.
Any other use beyond this is deemed to be non-intended use. The
manufacturer shall not be liable for any damage this causes, with
the risk involved being borne solely by the user.
