Electrical safety
DANGER Electrical hazard
There is a risk of electrical shocks from electrically
powered machines which can lead to serious injuries
or death.
►
Avoid body contact with earthed (grounded)
surfaces.
►
Make sure that there are no concealed wires or
other sources of electricity in the working area.
►
Always check that the mains voltage corresponds
with that stated on the data plate on the machine.
WARNING Electrical safety

cable is not treated correctly, if the machine is
damaged or modified. This can lead to serious
injuries or death.
►
The electrical plug on the machine must match
the socket.
►
Never modify the electrical plug to match the
socket.
