The machine must never be left unattended with the motor or engine on. Before leaving it,
turn the motor or engine off, make sure it cannot move accidentally.
Always pay attention to other people, children in particular, present in the place where you
are working.
Never use the machine to transport people or things or to tow things. Do not tow the
machine.
Never rest objects of any weight on the machine for any reason.
Never obstruct ventilation and heat dispersion slits.
Never remove, modify or circumvent safety devices.
Numerous unpleasant experiences have shown that a wide range of personal objects
may cause serious accidents. Before beginning work, remove jewellery, watches, ties,
etc.
The operator must always use personal protection devices - protective apron or overalls,
non-slip waterproof shoes, rubber gloves, protective goggles and ear protectors and mask
to protect the respiratory tract.
Keep the hands away from moving parts.
Never use detergents other than those specified. Follow the instructions on the relative
safety sheet. Detergents should be kept out of reach of children. In the event of contact
with the eyes, wash immediately with abundant water. If swallowed, consult a doctor
immediately.
Make sure the power sockets used for the models with cable or battery charger are
connected to a suitable earth system and protected by differential thermal solenoid
switches.
Make sure the electrical characteristics of the machine (voltage, frequency, absorbed
power) given on the rating plate (fig. 1) are the same as those of the mains electricity
supply. The machine with cable has a three-wire cable and a three pin earthed plug for
use in an appropriate earthed socket. The earth wire is yellow and green. Never connect
this wire to anything other than the earth contact of the socket.
It is indispensable to respect the battery manufacturer's instructions and current
legislation. The batteries should always be kept clean and dry to avoid surface leakage
current. Protect the batteries from impurities such as metal dust.
Never rest tools on the batteries as this could cause short circuit and explosion.
When using battery acid, always follow the relative safety instructions scrupulously.
When using cable models, take care not to crush or pull the power supply cable. Check
this cable periodically for damage. If damaged, the machine must not be used.
In the presence of particularly strong magnetic fields, assess the possible effect on the
control electronics.
Never wash the machine with water jets.
The fluids collected contain detergent, disinfectant, water and organic and inorganic
material. They must be disposed off in accordance with current legislation.
In the case of malfunction and/or faulty operation, turn the machine off immediately
(disconnecting it from the mains power supply or batteries) and do not tamper. Contact a
service centre authorised by the Manufacturer.
All maintenance operations must be performed in an adequately lit place and only after
disconnecting the machine from the power supply (in cable models by unplugging the
machine from the socket, in battery models by disconnecting the batteries).
All work on the electrical system and all maintenance and repair operations other than
those explicitly described in this manual must be performed by specialised personnel
expert in the sector only.
If the power cable, plug or terminals require replacing, make sure the electrical
connections and cable grip inside the control panel are tightly fastened to guarantee the
resistance of the cable if pulled. Then replace the panel carefully to guarantee the safety
of the operator.
Only original accessories and spare parts supplied by the Manufacturer may be used in
order to guarantee safe problem-free operation of the machine. Never use parts removed
from other machines or from other kits.
