This equipment must be earthed. In the event of a malfunction or failure, the
earth connection provides the path of least resistance for electrical current, min-
imising the risk of electrocution.
Mains powered versions come with a three-wire cable and a three-pin earthed
plug for use in a suitable earthed socket. The earth wire is yellow and green.
Never connect this wire to anything other than the earth terminal of the socket.
The plug must be plugged into a suitable socket, correctly installed and wired
according to local standards.
Incorrect wiring or failure to connect the machine’s earth wire may lead to a risk
of electrocution.
If you are in doubt about the proper earthing of the power socket, have it checked
