9 Connecting to Power Sup‐
ply
The voltage and frequency of the machine (see
rating plate) must match the voltage and fre‐
quency of the power connection.
The minimum fuse protection of the power con‐
nection must comply with the specifications – see
"Specifications".
The machine must be connected to the power
supply via an earth-leakage circuit breaker to dis‐
connect the power supply if the differential cur‐
rent to earth exceeds 30 mA.
The power connection must correspond to
IEC 60364 and relevant national regulations.

The design of the extension cord must at least
fulfill the same features as the connecting cord
on the machine. Observe the design marking
(type designation) on the connecting cord.
The cores in the cord must have the following
minimum cross-section depending on the mains
voltage and cord length.

220 V – 240 V:
Up to 20 m
20 m to 50 m
100 V – 127 V:
Up to 10 m
