5 General safety instructions 

This section covers residual risks and hazards associated with the intended use of the appliance. We have 

provided a list of all generally valid safety instructions which must be followed. 

In the following section, safety information relating to a particular operation or situation is placed before the 

appropriate operation step or description of the situation. 

5.1 General behaviour 

This appliance meets the current state of the art and complies with all acknowledged technical safetyrelated 

regulations. Nevertheless hazards may still arise. 

� Only use this appliance when it is in fault-free condition and according to the instructions in this 

user guide. 

� During all phases of the appliance's life please ensure that the appliance is safely integrated into 

its environment. 

� Do not make any conversions or modifications to the appliance. 

5.2 On use of electrical appliances 

Safety instructions according to EN 60745-1: 

Work area 

• Keep your work area clean and tidy. A messy or unlit work area can cause accidents. 

• Keep children and other persons at a distance when using the product. 


General safety instructions 

Electrical safety 

• The plug on the unit must fit in the socket. Do not modify the plug in any way. Never use 

an adapter in combination with earthed appliances. Using an unmodified plug and a 

suitable socket will reduce the risk of an electric shock. 

• Avoid bodily contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, heating units, cookers and 

refrigerators. The risk of an electric shock is greater when your body is earthed. 

• Keep the appliance away from rain or damp. Allowing water to get into an electric 

appliance will increase the risk of electric shock. 

• Do not misuse the cable by using it to remove the plug from the socket. Always remove 

whilst holding onto the plug. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or the 

moving parts of other appliances. Using damaged or tangled cables increases the risk of 

electric shock. 

• When working with an appliance outdoors, only use extension cables which are permitted 

for outdoor use. Using an extension cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of 

electric shock. 

• Potential risk of fire due to heat build-up. Unwind the cable from the spool to prevent any 

heat build-up or cable fire. The coupling must have splash protection, must be made of 

rubber or be rubber-coated. The cable cross-section must be at least 1.5 mm 2 . 

Safety guidelines for persons 

• Be attentive and pay attention to what you are doing, act rationally when working with an 

electrical appliance. Do not use the appliance when tired or under the influence of drugs, 

alcohol or medication. 

Just one moment of inattention whilst using the appliance can result in serious injury. 

• Make sure the appliance cannot be switched on unintentionally. Double check that the 

main switch is in the "OFF" position before inserting the plug in the socket. Connecting 

the appliance to the power supply while it is switched on can cause an accident. 

Careful handling and use of electrical appliances 

• Never use an electrical appliance with a faulty switch. An electrical appliance which can 

no longer be switched on or off is dangerous and must be repaired. 

• Keep unused electrical appliances in places where children are not able to reach them. 

Do not allow the appliance to be used by persons who are not familiar with it or persons 

who are not familiar with this user guide. Electrical appliances are dangerous when in the 

hands of inexperienced persons. 

• Handle the appliance carefully. Make sure all moving parts of the appliance work 

perfectly and are not jammed, also check whether any parts are broken or damaged to 

the extent that operation of the appliance is impaired. Have any damaged parts repaired 

before using the appliance. Many accidents are caused by poorly-maintained electrical 

appliances. 

• Use electrical appliances, accessories etc. in accordance with these guidelines and in a 

manner that is specified for this particular appliance type. When using the appliance, 

please take into account the working conditions and the work being carried out. Using 

electrical appliances for other uses than that intended can lead to hazardous situations. 

Service 

• Only have the device repaired by qualified and authorised staff. Only use original spare 

parts. In this way you can ensure that the appliance remains safe. 



5.3 Operator's duties 

Operator 

The operator is the person who operates the appliance for commercial or economic purposes either 

himself/herself or lets others use it and bears the legal appliance responsibility for protection of the 

user, staff or any third parties during operation. 

Operator's duties 

The appliance is used in commercial applications. For this reason, the operator of the appliance must 

meet all legal duties relating to work safety. 

In addition to the safety instructions in this guide, the safety, accident prevention and environmental 

protection regulation applying to the application of the appliance must be complied with. 

In particular, the following shall apply: 

• The operator must be familiar with the applicable work safety regulations and 

identify, by carrying out a risk analysis, any additional hazards which are due to the 

place where the appliance is used. These hazards must be addressed in the form of 

operating instructions governing the operation of the appliance. 

• During the whole service lift of the appliance, the operator must verify if the 

operator's operating instructions reflect the current versions of the applicable 

regulations. If necessary, the operator must update the operating instructions 

accordingly. 

• The operator must define and assign the responsibilities for installation, operation, 

repair, maintenance and cleaning clearly. 

• The operator must make sure that all personnel working with the appliance have 

read and understood this guide. In addition, the operator must train the personnel 

and inform them of the hazards involved at regular intervals. 

• The operator must provide the personnel with the necessary protective equipment 

and make sure that they wear it. 

In addition, the operator must ensure that the appliance is always in a perfect technical condition. For 

this reason, the following shall apply: 

• The operator must ensure that the maintenance intervals defined in this guide are 

obeyed. 

• The operator must have all safety equipment be checked regularly for completeness 

and proper function. 

• The operator must ensure that the required media connections are available. 

• The operator must ensure that all safety-relevant measures required on site are 

taken. 

5.4 Personnel qualification 

Safe operation requires certain technical skills and personal qualification of each person. 

• The responsibility for organization lies with the ‘Designated Representative’. 

According to EN 50110-1, the Designated Representative is a 'person assigned the 

direct responsibility for the performance of the work. If necessary, this responsibility 

can be assigned partly to other persons. [...] The designated representative must 

instruct all persons involved in the work on all hazards which may not be obvious for 

them’. 

• The work may only be performed by ‘instructed persons’ who have been trained 

accordingly. Training, instructions must be repeated, proper understanding must be 

verified (ideally by way of an appropriate test). 


• Only ‘Qualified Staff’ is allowed to carry out repair work. 

IEC 60204-1 defines qualified personnel as "persons who, on account of their 

training and relevant experience are in the position to recognise risks and avoid 

potentially dangerous situations." 

• Electrical work may only be carried out by trained and experienced electricians. 

Electro-technically instructed persons may only work under the supervision of a 

qualified electrician. 

5.5 Provide protective equipment for personnel 


� Ensure that the personnel wears the personal protective equipment appropriate to the relevant 

situation. 

� Wear sturdy shoes to avoid injury. 

� Wear safety gloves to avoid burns at hands and arms. 

5.6 Appliance-specific safety instructions
