Electrical Safety
•
To avoid the risk of electric shock from the power cable, we
strongly advise that the cable be plugged into a socket which
has RCD protection.
•
Long power cables will cause a drop in voltage, impairing the
performance of the machine.
•
Cables up to 25m long can have 1.5mm
2
conductors, while
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 regularly for insulation
damage, replacing if necessary.
