Advarsel:Usynlig laserstråling ved åbning  
når sikkerhedsafbrydere er ude af funktion.  
Undgå utsættelse for stråling.  
Luokan 1 laserlaite  
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.  
S
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.
