RISK of ELECTRIC SHOCK!
The glass body of a lamp may burst at the end of its lifetime.
In this case, disconnect the device from the power supply
immediately (remove plug). Even after unplugging the power
cable there is a risk of electric shock due to the existence of
residual electricity!
Wait at least about 45 min. until replacing an defective bulb.
Touch the device or its parts with suitable protection gloves
only.
RISK of BODILY INJURY!
If neccessary, remove parts of broken glass carefully with
suitable protection gloves. There is a risk of bodily injury!
