Recommendations concerning the work area
Check that the voltage and frequency of the machine shown on the characteristics plate match the electric
system (fig. 1).
Pay close attention to the state of the area where the job is to be done. Keep it clean and well lit. The
machine should be kept clean at all times in order to ensure optimum performance and the safest
