Safety instructions
Read the operating instructions carefully and especially observe the safety
information. If you do not follow the safety instructions and information on
proper handling in this manual, we assume no liability for any resulting
personal injury or damage to property. Such cases will invalidate the warranty/
guarantee.
• The device is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
• Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. These may become
dangerous playing material for children.
• Protect the product from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, strong jolts, high
humidity, moisture, flammable gases, vapours and solvents.
• Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
• If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and
protect it from any accidental use. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed
if the product:
- is visibly damaged,
- is no longer working properly,
- has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or
- has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.
• Please handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height
can damage the product.
• Also observe the safety and operating instructions of any other devices which are
connected to the product.
• The product is equipped with a protection against accidental contact. An
integrated mechanism will release the holes of the receptacle only, if the two
prongs of a power plug are inserted into the two holes at once.
• Take special caution when children are around. Children cannot recognize the
danger arising from the incorrect use of electrical devices. There is a risk of a
life-threatening electric shock!
• As a source of voltage, ensure that you only use a proper mains socket (230 V/
AC, 50 Hz) of the mains power supply.
• The mains outlet must be located near to the device and be easily accessible.
• Fully unwind the power cable during operation. The power cable is not allowed
to be squashed or damaged by sharp edges. Do not place any objects on the
power cable and do not step on it. Lay the power cable in such a way that no-one
can trip over it and so that the plug is easily accessible. Do not lay the cable for
example under carpet.
• The product is not to be touched, operated or switched on/off with damp or wet
hands. Danger of life due to electric shock!
• Never connect the product straight away to the power supply, if it is taken from
a cold room to a warm room (e.g. after transportation). The condensation this
creates could destroy the device or cause an electric shock! First let the product
reach room temperature. Wait until the condensation has evaporated, which can
take a few hours. Only then is the product allowed to be connected to the power
supply and operated.
• Always ensure you only pull on a plug by the intended handling areas and never
pull the plug out of a socket by its cable.
• Do not overload the power strip. Observe the power rating indicated in the
chapter "Technical data".
• Do not connect two power strips together! This can cause the power strip to
become overloaded. Danger of fire! Insert the grounded mains plug of the power
strip directly, for example, into a wall power point. Do not connect any more
power strips to the power strip.
• Do not use the power strip if it is covered! In the event of a higher power rating
the power strip and the connecting cable heat up, which can lead to overheating
and even fire if covered.
• The power strip is only de-energised if the plug is removed from the power point.
• The plug must be removed from the power point in the following conditions:
- before cleaning the products
- if the product is not used for a longer period of time.
• Do not pour fluids over or next to the product. There is a high risk of fire or
life-endangering electric shock. If fluid still manages to get inside the device,
perform an all-pole disconnection of mains power socket to which the power strip
is connected. (Switch off the fuse/automatic circuit breaker/earth leakage circuit
breaker of the respective circuit. Only then should you remove the plug of the
power strip from the mains power point and contact a specialist. Do not use the
product any more.
• In commercial premises observe the accident prevention regulations of the
association for commercial trade associations for electrical systems and
equipment.
• In schools, centres of education, hobby and self-help workshops, the use of this
product with electrical devices must be monitored by trained personnel.
• Consult an expert when in doubt about operation, safety or connection of the
device.
• Maintenance, modifications and r epairs are to be performed exclusively by an
expert or at a qualified shop.
• If you have questions which remain unanswered by these operating instructions,
contact our technical support service or other technical personnel.
