ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Always check that the power
supply corresponds to the
voltage on the rating plate.
Electrical Safety
Your machine is double insulated for safety and
requires no earth connection. The operating voltage
is 230 V AC, 50 Hz (for non-EU countries 220 V,
240 V as applicable). Only use approved extension
cables.
It is recommended for increased electrical safety to
use a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a tripping
current of not more than 30 mA. Always check your
RCD every time you use it.
