Advarsel: Usynlig laserstråling ved
åbning når sikkerhedsafbrydere er ude
af funktion. Undgå utsættelse for
stråling.
Varoitus! Laitteen käyttäminen
muulla kuin tässä käyttöohjeessa
mainitulla tavalla saattaa altistaa
käyttäjän turvallisuusluokan 1
ylittävälle näkymättömälle
lasersäteilylle.
Oikeus muutoksiin varataan. Laite
ei saa olla alttiina tippu-ja
roiskevedelle.
Bemærk: Netafbryderen er sekundært
indkoblet og ofbryder ikke strømmen
fra nettet. Den indbyggede netdel er
derfor tilsluttet til lysnettet så længe
netstikket sidder i stikkontakten.
Huom.Toiminnanvalitsin on kytketty
toisiopuolelle, eikä se kytke laitetta irti
sähköverkosta. Sisäänrakennettu
verkko-osa on kytkettynä
sähköverkkoon aina silloin, kun pistoke
on pistorasiassa.

Klass 1 laseraparat
Varning! Om apparaten används på
annat sätt än i denna bruksanvisning
specificerats, kan användaren utsättas
för osynlig laserstrålning, som
överskrider gränsen för laserklass 1.
Observera! Stömbrytaren är sekundärt
kopplad och bryter inte strömmen från
nätet. Den inbyggda nätdelen är
därför ansluten till elnätet så länge
stickproppen sitter i vägguttaget.
