cables longer than 25m must have 2.5mm
2
conductors.
• Ensure that the plug pins on the cable and the machine are
not bent, and that the weight of the cable will not pull the
socket apart.
• Do not separate the plug and socket by pulling on the
cables.
• Check the condition of the power cable by regularly for
insulation damage, replacing if necessary.
