The procedure for connection of the electrical system comprises the following phases:
- Connecting to the electricity mains
- Connecting the potentiometers
- Connecting the lighting system (if any).
WARNING
All operations required for the electrical hook-up of the machine to the power supply
network must be carried out exclusively by qualified personnel.
The electrical hook-up must be performed according to:
• the electrical power absorbed by the machine, specified in the machine data plate
provided;
• the distance between the machine and the electric hook-up point, so that voltage
drops under full load do not exceed 4% (10% when starting up) of the rated voltage
specified on the data plate.
- The user must:
• fit a plug that respects the current regulations onto the power supply cable;
• connect the machine to its own electrical connection fitted with a suitable differential
circuit breaker;
• fit power supply protection fuses sized in compliance with specifications in the main
wiring diagram of this manual;
• provide the workshop electrical installation with an efficient grounding circuit.
- To prevent unauthorised use of the machine, always disconnect the power supply plug
when the machine is not used (switched off) for extended periods of time.
- If the machine is connected directly to the power supply by means of the main electri-
cal board and without the use of a plug, a key-operated or padlockable switch must be
installed to restrict machine use exclusively to qualified personnel.
WARNING
For correct operation of the machine it must be connected to an efficient grounding
circuit.
NEVER connect the ground wire to a gas pipe, water pipe, telephone line or other
unsuitable item.
