Do not overstretch the cable. Do not use the cable
to transport the machine, lift the machine and to
unplug the machine. Maintain the cable far away
from heat sources, oil, sharp edges or other moving
parts. Damaged or tangled cables increase the risk of
electric shock.
Never use this machine if the cable or the plug are
damaged. Before connecting the machine check
that the cable and the plug are not damaged. If you

take your machine to your nearest after sales
dealer. Should the cable be damaged, unplug the
machine inmediately. Damaged or tangled cables
increase the risk of electric shock.
The substitution of the plug or cable should be
done by an approved and homologated after sales
service. We recommend that this machine should be
connected to residual differential whose current is
lower or equal to 30mA.
