Electrical devices (e.g. power packs, compressors and hydraulic units) may only be operated in training
rooms that are equipped with residual current devices (RCD).
•
Observe the specifications included in the data sheets for the individual components, and in particular
all safety instructions!
•
Malfunctions which may impair safety must not be generated in the training environment, and must be
eliminated immediately.
•
Wear personal safety equipment (safety glasses, safety shoes) when working on circuits.
Mechanical system

Switch off the working and control power before working on the circuit.
