Check the machine for possible damage
−
Before continuing to use the machine, the
protective
devices
must be inspected to ensure that they work
perfectly and with their intended function
−
Check whether the movable parts function perfectly
and do not stick or whether the parts are damaged.
All parts must be correctly installed and fulfil all
conditions to ensure perfect operation of the machine.
−
Damaged guards
and parts must be properly
repaired or exchanged by a recognized, specialist
workshop; insofar as nothing else is stated in the
instructions for use.
−
Damaged or illegible
safety warning labels
should
be

immediately.
Electrical safety
Electrical connections
must conform to IEC 60245 (H
07 RN-F) with a cable cross-section of at least
⇒
230 V ~
3 x 1.5 mm² for a maximum cable length of up to 10 m
⇒
400 V 3~
5 x 1.5 mm² for a maximum cable length of up to 10 m
Never use the machine with a power supply cable of over
10 m in length. Longer power supply cables will cause a
drop in voltage. The motor will not be able to provide its
maximum performance and the operation of the machine
will be impaired.
When laying the
connecting attachments
, be sure that
they do get crushed or bent, and that the plug-and-socket
connection does not get wet.
Do not use the
cable
for purposes for which it is not
meant.
Protect
the cable against
heat, oil and sharp
edges
. Do not use the cable to pull the plug from the
socket.
Regularly check the
extension cables
and replace them
if they are damaged.
Do
not use any defective connection cables.
When working outdoors, only use extension cables
especially
approved
and appropriately labelled for
outdoor use.
Do
not set up any provisional
electrical connections.
Never bypass
protective devices or deactivate them.
The
electrical connection
or
repairs
to electrical parts
of the machine must be carried out by a certified
electrician or one of our customer service points. Local
regulations – especially regarding protective measures
– must be observed.
Repairs
to other parts of the machine must be carried
out by the
manufacturer
or one of his customer service
points.
Use only original
spare parts. Accidents can arise for
the user through the
use of other spare parts
. The
manufacturer is not liable for any damage or injury
resulting from such action.
