it. Never stand near the ejection opening.
Never reach into the filling or ejection opening.
Keep your face and body away from the filling opening.
Do not overload the machine! You work better and safer in the
given performance range.
Only operate the machine with complete and correctly at-
tached safety equipment and do not alter anything on the ma-
chine that could impair the safety.
Do not alter the revolution speed of the motor, since this con-
trols the safe maximum operating speed, and protects the mo-
tor and all rotating parts against damage due to excess
speed.
Do not operate without the funnel.
Do not modify the device or parts of the device respectively.
Do not hose down the device with water. (Origin of danger
electric current).
Take into consideration environmental influences:
Do not use the device in moist or wet ambience.
−
Do not leave the machine standing in the rain or use when
−
raining.
Provide for good illumination.
−
To prevent danger of injury to fingers during assembly or
cleaning operations wear protecting gloves.
Do not transport the device when the motor is running.
Switch the machine off and remove the mains plug from the
socket when
attaching or removing the retaining basket
−
performing maintenance and cleaning work
−
eliminating faults
−
checking the connection cable for damage
−
and entanglement during operation
transporting
−
carrying out repair work
−
leaving unattended (even during short interruptions)
−
If the machine's filling funnel or ejection slot is blocked switch
off the motor and disconnect the mains plug before removing
material from the filling funnel or ejection slot.
Check the machine for possible damage:
Before further use of the machine the safety devices must
−
be checked carefully for their proper and intended func-
tion.
Check whether movable parts function perfectly and do
−
not stick or whether parts are damaged. All parts must be
correctly installed and fulfil all conditions to ensure perfect
operation of the machine.
Damaged safety devices and parts must be properly re-
−
paired or exchanged by a recognized, specialist workshop;

Design of the connection cable according to IEC 60 245 (H 07
RN-F) with a core cross-section of at least
1.5 mm for cable lengths up to 25 m
2
−
2.5 mm for cable lengths over 25 m
2
−
Long and thin connection lines result in a potential drop. The
motor does not reach any longer its maximal power; the func-
tion of the device is reduced.
Plugs and coupler outlets on connection cables must be made
of rubber, plasticised PVC or other thermoplastic material of
same mechanical stability or be covered with this material.
The connector of the connection cable must be splash-proof.
When running the connection line observe that it does not
interfere, is not squeezed, bended and the plug connection
does not get wet.
Wind off completely the cable when using a cable drum.
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 touch a damaged connection cable before disconnect-
ing it from the mains. A damaged connection cable may cause
contact with live parts.
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.
Only hook up the machine by means of a fault-current circuit
breaker (30 mA).
