Transport and storage

Note

If you store or transport the device improperly, the
device may be damaged.
Note the information regarding transport and storage of
the device.

Connecting the cable drum

• Unreel the cable to the desired length so as to operate
consumers with a total power of up to 1250watts.

• Unreel the cable completely to operate consumers with a
total power of more than 1250watts.

• Do not create tripping hazards when laying the cable.

• Insert the mains plug into a properly secured socket.

• The voltage indicator light(10) lights up and you can
connect the consumer to the cable drum.

Thermal circuit breaker

The cable drum is equipped with a thermal circuit breaker
interrupting the current flow in case of overheating of the cable
drum.
The thermal circuit breaker can be tripped if the cable drum has
not been unrolled completely or if the maximum rated power of
the consumer is too high.

Please proceed as follows if the thermal circuit breaker is
activated:

1. Pull the plug(3) from the socket.

2. Disconnect the consumer from the safety socket(9).

3. Unreel the cable completely.

4. Allow the cable to cool down completely.

5. Actuate the thermal circuit breaker(11).

ð Now you can use the cable drum again.

Transport

To make the device easier to transport, it is fitted with a carry
handle.

Before transporting the device, observe the following:

• Roll up the cable completely.

• Put the plug into one of the two slots for plug storage.

• Make sure that the braking system of the drum prevents
an inadvertent unreeling of the cable.

Storage

When the device is not being used, observe the following
storage conditions:

• dry and protected from frost and heat

• protected from dust and direct sunlight

• with a cover to protect it from invasive dust, if necessary

• The storage temperature is the same as the range given in
the Technical data chapter.
