These machine are supplied with a moulded 13 Amp. Plug and 3 core power cable. Before
using the machine inspect the cable and the plug to make sure that neither are damaged. If
any damage is visible have the machine inspected/repaired by a suitably qualified person. If
it is necessary to replace the plug, it is preferable to use an 'unbreakable' type that will
resist damage on site. Only use a 13 Amp plug, and make sure the cable clamp is
tightened securely. Fuse as required. If extension leads are to be used, carry out the same
safety checks on them, and ensure that they are correctly rated to safely supply the current
that is required for your machine.
WARNING!!
!
If the machine is not fitted with a NVR type ON/OFF switch, always check
that the machine is OFF before connecting it to the mains supply.
The machine is designed for indoor operation, do not use when or where it is liable to get
wet. If the machine is to be used outside and it starts to rain, stop work and move it inside. If
the machine has got wet; dry it off as soon as possible, with a cloth or paper towel. Do not
use 230Va.c. powered machines anywhere within a site area that is flooded or puddled, and
do not trail extension cables across wet areas. Keep the machines clean; it will enable you
to more easily see any damage that may have occurred. Clean the machine with a damp
soapy cloth if needs be, do not use any solvents or cleaners, as these may cause damage
to any plastic parts or to the electrical components.
Keep the work area as uncluttered as is practical, this includes personnel as well as
material.
Under no circumstances should CHILDREN be allowed in work areas.
