If you use an  extension cord, the plug  and the socket  must
be waterproof.

It is absolutely forbidden to use the machine in a potentially
explosive or hazardous areas.

Do not pull the power cord or the appliance itself to unplug
it from the outlet.

If  during  operation    the  power  supply  fails,  for  safety
reasons, turn off the machine (OFF).

If the technical data indicates a sound pressure exceeding 80
dB (A) wear protective goggles.

If  the  item  technical  data  has  shown  a  hand-arm  vibration
value  greater  than  or  equal  to  2.5  mm2  make  some  stops
during use.

Electrical connection 

The electrical connection of the appliance must be done by
an electrician and conform to IEC 60346-1.

Before connecting the appliance make sure that the data on
the  label  correspond  to  those  of  the  mains  and  that  the
socket  is  protected  by  a  differential  circuit  breaker  (RCCB),
with intervention sensitivity  0.03 A - 30ms.

In  cases  of  incompatibility  between  the  socket  and  the
appliance plug, have the socket replaced with a suitable type
by a qualified professional.

Do not use the device in case of temperature below 0 ° C, if
it is equipped with cable PVC (H VV-F).

WARNING:  Extension  not  adequate  may  be  dangerous  or
create situations of overload of the unit.

The  transitional  insertion  of  the  appliance  may  cause  a
temporary decrease in voltage.

To prevent damage to other equipment the line impedance
must be less than 0.15 Ohm.

Ensure that the cable for connection to the network or the
extension cable is not damaged passing over, crushing them,
casting  or  the  like.  Protect  the  cable  from  heat  and  from
contact with oil or sharp edges.

We  recommend  using  a  cable  roll,  which  ensure  that  they
are taken at least 60mm above the floor.

If you use an extension cord, the plug  and the socket  must
be  waterproof  and  the  cable  must  have  the  dimensions
shown in the table below.

line    is  installed  a  back-flow  prevention  device 

complying  with current regulations.
