ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Use 230 V 50 Hz alternate voltage equipped with a earthing conductor to supply your machine. Ensure
that the power supply corresponds to this voltage, that it is protected by a differential and
magnetothermal switch, and that the earthing system is efficient. If your machine does not work when
connected to a socket, check carefully the power supply features.
Use an extension cable in order to connect the machine to the power supply.
EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS
If the tool does not work properly or in case of short-circuit, the earthing system provides the current with
a less resistance path and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool has a plug to which a supply or
extension cable must be connected, which in turn must be connected to a socket correctly installed and
earthed, in conformity with local standards and regulations. Be sure that your earthing system is in good
conditions and that your plug is protected by a differential and magnetothermal switch.
Do not modify the plug of the machine. If it does not enter the socket, get a suitable plug installed by a
qualified person. If the earthing conductor is not correctly connected the risk of electric shock can occur.
The conductor which has the green insulating jacket (with or without a yellow line) is the earthing
conductor. If you must repair or change the supply cable, do not connect the earthing conductor to a low
tension terminal.
Consult a qualified electrician or a person in charge of the maintenance if you have not understood or
you have some doubts on the earthing instructions.
If the supply cable is damaged it must be changed by qualified people. Do not switch on the machine if
the supply cable is damaged.
This tool is provided with a plug which must connected to a suitable socket.
EXTENSION LEADS
Only use three conductors extension leads, with a plug with two plugs and a earthing contact and
sockets with two holes and a earth corresponding to the plug of the tool. When using an electric tool at a
remarkable distance from the power supply, use an extension lead with sufficient dimensions to
transport the current which the tool needs. If the extension cable has not the sufficient dimensions a
voltage drop can occur, thus causing an overheating and a voltage loss. You can only use extension
leads which are in compliance with CE standards.
Extension lead length
: up to 15 m
Cable dimensions:
3 x 2,5 mm²
Before using any kind of extension lead, check that it has not bare wires and that the insulation is not cut
or worn. Repair and change immediately it if it is damaged or worn.
