2.2 - ELECTRICAL SAFETY
The machine has double
insulation, which means that all
external metal parts are insulated from
electrical components. Therefore, in
accordance with EN 60745, no earth
connection is required. However,
double insulation is not a substitute for
normal safety precautions, which must
be fulfilled when using the machine.
Hold the machine only by the insulated
parts, which prevent electric shock in
case the machine comes in contact
with hidden wiring or there is damage
to the machine’s power cable during
use.
Do not use this type of machine
in explosive environments,
especially in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dusts. These machines
create sparks that may ignite liquids,
gases, or dust.
The supply voltage must match
the machine’s technical
specifications. Keep the voltage
between ± 5% of the nominal value. Do
not use the machine in places where
the supply voltage is not stable.
Do not expose these machines to rain
nor operate them in wet or humid
environments. The presence of water
increases the risk of damages and
electric shock.
Never use the power cable to pull,
carry or unplug the machine. Damaged
power cables increase the risk of
electric shock.
Keep the power cord and plug away
from heat sources, oil, sharpen objects
and rotating accessories. Check
regularly the power cord’s condition: if
it is damaged, it must be replaced by
a qualified technician. It is not allowed
to repair it.
Never modify the plug of the power
cable and always use one compatible
with the plug. Do not use any type of
adapter.
