Check the machine for possible damage
Before continuing to use the machine, the protective
−
devices must be inspected to ensure that they work
perfectly and with their intended function
Check whether the movable parts function perfectly
−
and do not stick or whether the parts are damaged.
All parts must be correctly installed and fulfil all
conditions to ensure perfect operation of the machine.
Damaged guards and parts must be properly
−
repaired or exchanged by a recognized, specialist
workshop; insofar as nothing else is stated in the
instructions for use.
Damaged or illegible safety warning labels should
−
be replaced immediately.
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.
The electrical connection or repairs to electrical parts
of the machine must be carried out by a certified
electrician or one of our customer service points. Local
regulations – especially regarding protective measures
– must be observed.
Repairs to other parts of the machine must be carried
out by the manufacturer or one of his customer service
points.
