Electrical safety
Electrical connections must conform to IEC 60245 (H
07 RN-F) with a cable cross-section of at least
⇒
230 V ~
3 x 1.5 mm² for a maximum cable length of up to 10 m
⇒
400 V 3~
5 x 1.5 mm² for a maximum cable length of up to 10 m
Never use the machine with a power supply cable of over
10 m in length. Longer power supply cables will cause a
drop in voltage. The motor will not be able to provide its
maximum performance and the operation of the machine
will be impaired.
When laying the connecting attachments, be sure that
they do get crushed or bent, and that the plug-and-socket
connection does not get wet.
Do not use the cable for purposes for which it is not
meant. Protect the cable against heat, oil and sharp
edges. Do not use the cable to pull the plug from the
socket.
Regularly check the extension cables and replace them
if they are damaged.
Do not use any defective connection cables.
When working outdoors, only use extension cables
especially approved and appropriately labelled for
outdoor use.
Do not set up any provisional electrical connections.
Never bypass protective devices or deactivate them.
