Check the power cord with mains plug
for damage before every use. If the
power cord is damaged, please arrange
immediately for the exchange by an au-
thorized customer service or a skilled
electrician.
 All electrical sockets should be fixed in
an area that is protected against floods.
 Unsuitable electrical extension cables
can be hazardous. Only use electrical
extension cables outdoors which have
been approved and labelled for this pur-
pose and have an adequate cable
cross-section.
 The mains plug and the coupling of an
extension cable must be watertight and
must never lie in water. Moreover, the
coupling may never lie on the ground.
The use of cable reels that ensure that
the sockets are at least 60 mm above
the ground is recommended.
 Do not use the power cord to carry/
transport the machine.
 To separate the machine from the
mains, pull the plug and not the power

 Do not use this pump as an immersion
pump.
 When operating the pump around
swimming pools, garden ponds and

2 m and secure the pump against slid-
ing into the water.
 Follow the rules for electrical safety of
equipment:
 Only operate pumps near to pools, gar-
den ponds or fountains, if they are
equipped with an earth leakage circuit
breaker with a nominal error current of
max. 30 mA. It is not permitted to acti-
vate the pump, if persons are in the pool
or garden pond.
 For safety reasons, we recommend that
you operate the appliance only via a
earth-leakage circuit breaker (max. 30
