Start-up

Electric supply
Compare the voltage listed on the machine's type plate, e.g.
230 V, with the mains voltage and connect the machine to a
suited and and properly earthed electrical socket.
Only hook up the machine by means of a fault-current circuit
breaker (30 mA).
 Use an extension cable in compliance with IEC 60245 (H 07
RN-F) having a core cross-section of at least:
- 1.5 mm² for cable lengths up to 25 m
- 2.5 mm² for cable lengths over 25 m
Power system fuse protection
10 A inert
Mounting of the extension cable
Connect the connector of the extension cable to the mains
plug (3). Thread the extension cable through the pull relief
device as a loop and hang it up.

Make sure that the extension cable has enough free
motion.
Switching On/Off
Do not use any device where the switch can not be
switched on and off. Damaged switches must be repaired
