• Remember always to switch off and unplug the machine
from the power supply before carrying out any setting up

have them replaced by an authorised service facility or
qualified electrician.
• Inspect extension cables (if used) periodically and replace
if damaged.
28. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean
• Correctly maintained cutting tools are easier to control
and less likely to bind.

Take extreme care when handling them and always allow
them to cool before changing, adjusting or
sharpening them.
