the ground for operations. This is awkward operating position that
the operator has to bring his face close to the machine, and thus
risks being struck by wood chips or debris.
Warning!
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• To avoid the risk of electric shock from the power cable, we
strongly advise that the cable be plugged into a socket which
has RCD protection.
• Long power cables will cause a drop in voltage, impairing the
performance of the machine.
• Cables up to 10m long must have 2.5mm2 diameter.
• Ensure that the plug pins on the cable and the machine are not
bent, and that the weight of the cable will not pull the socket
apart.
• Do not separate the plug and socket by pulling on the cables.
• Check the condition of the power cable regularly for insulation
damage, replacing if necessary.
• Do not bypass the safety switch on the cleaning flap retaining
screw.
