2. Safety
Proper handling
Always be exceptionally careful when handling the blades!
Do not leave open blades lying around after removal.
Always make sure to handle the blade in a way that will not cause you injury.
All appropriate safety precautions must be met to avoid the risk of infection.
Wearing safety gloves, a mask and safety goggles – in accordance with the "Working with
Substances that Pose a Health Risk" guidelines – is absolutely mandatory.
The instrument may be opened by authorized service personnel only.
Always disconnect the power plug before opening the instrument.
Always switch off the instrument using the power switch and disconnect the power plug before
replacing the fuse. The use of fuses other than those installed at the factory is not permitted.
2.1 Transport, Unpacking and Setting up
• When unpacking the instrument, compare the parts received with the
parts ordered. If the parts received do not match your order, contact the
sales company responsible for your order immediately.
• Please refer to "Technical Data" before connecting the instrument to a
power supply.
• Never connect the instrument to a power socket that does not have a
protective conductor terminal.
The instrument must be set up so that the main power switch on its right side (item 7 in Fig. 14) is
easily accessible at any time.
Because the weight of the instrument is approx. 56 kg, carrying the instrument requires 2 persons
(1 carrying handle per person).
