Operation Manual
12
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.
The coupling in the connection lead must be splashproof.
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.
Use only original spare parts. Accidents can arise for the
user through the use of other spare parts. The
manufacturer is not liable for any damage or injury
resulting from such action.
