Connecting to Power
Supply
The voltage and frequency of the
machine (see rating plate) must match
the voltage and frequency of the power
connection.
The minimum fuse protection of the
power connection must comply with the
specifications – see "Specifications".
The machine must be connected to the
power supply via an earth-leakage
circuit breaker to disconnect the power
supply if the differential current to earth
exceeds 30 mA.
The power connection must correspond
to IEC 60364 and relevant national
regulations.
Depending on the supply voltage and
cord length, the minimum conductor
cross section of the extension cord must
be as follows:
Cord length
Minimum cross
section
220 V – 240 V:
up to 20 m
1.5 mm
20 m to 50 m
2.5 mm
100 V – 120 V:
up to 10 m
2.0 mm
10 m to 30 m
3.5 mm

N
Move switch (1) to I or II (position II
depends on model).
Units with single switch setting (I):
I
= full power
Units with two switch settings (I and II):
I
= half power
II
= full power
