Electrical safety
1.
The machine plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) the machine.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
2.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
3.
Do not expose the machine to rain or wet conditions. Water entering the
machine will increase the risk of electric shock.
4.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the machine. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
5.
When operating the machine outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
6.
To connect the machine only to a supply circuit protected by a residual
current device (RCD) with a tripping current of not more than 30mA.
7.
The voltage indicated on the rating plate must correspond to the voltage
of the power source.
8.
Only use or replace power supply cables for this unit which correspond to
the types indicated by the manufacturer. Never touch the mains plug with
wet hands.
9.
Do not run over, crush or pull the power supply cable or extension lead,
otherwise it may be damaged. Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp
edges.
10. The extension lead must have a cross section in accordance with the
operating instructions and be protected against splashed water. The
connection must not be in water.
