2.4. ELECTRIC SECURITY
Connect this machine only to alternate current
230v/50Hz.
Never cut the cable. Risk of electric shock.
The electric plug of this machine must coincide with
the electric mains. Do not modify in any way the
electric plug. Electric plugs not modified and that
coincide with the electric mains would reduce the risk
of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as
tubes, radiators, electric kitchens and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if in
contact with earthed products.
Do not expose this machine to rain or humid
conditions. The water that could enter the machine
could increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not touch the mains or the cables with wet hands.
Do not overstretch the cable. Do not use the cable
to transport the machine, to lift the machine or to
remove from the electric mains. Maintain the cable far
away from heat sources, oil, sharp edges or pieces
in movement. Damaged cables or twisted cables
increase the risk of electric shock.
Never use the machine with a damaged cable or with
the electric mains damaged. Before connecting the
machine, check the plug and the cables for damages.
If you discover any damages take your machine
to your nearest after sales service for repair. If the
cable is damaged or broken, disconnect the machine
immediately. Damaged cables or twisted cables
increase the risk of electric shock.
The substitution of the plug or cable should be
done by an approved and homologated after sales
service. We recommend that this machine should be
connected to residual differential whose current is
lower or equal to 30mA.
When using a electric extension for the cable, make
sure that it has a minimum section of 1.5 mm2 and
it should not be longer than 25metres in length and
homologated for outdoor use. Both the plug and the
base of the electric extension must be waterproof
and should never be submerged in water. The use of
an adequate electric extension will reduce the risk of
electric shock.
Place the electric extension so that it does not hook
itself on branches, it is well clear of the blades of the
tiller and other obstacles and ensuring that it is not in
the working area. The cable extension should always
be behind the user.
Always hook the cable to the hook provided on the
machine.
Maintain the cable well away from heat sources,
oil, sharp and jagged areas or pieces in movement.
Do not use the machine if the switch does not change
from closed to open. Any electric machine that cannot
be controlled by the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
Always disconnect the machine from the electric
mains before carrying out any maintenance work on
this machine. Only manipulate the machine when
disconnected from the mains.
2.5. SECURITY WHEN USING O
IMPORTANT: The oil used is highly
inflammable. If the fuel or the machine catch
fire, fight the flames with a dry dust fire extinguisher.
