Electrical safety

When using electric machines always observe the safety regulations applicable in your country to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury. Read the following safety instructions and also the enclosed safety instructions.

Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

Your machine is double insulated, therefore no earthwire is required.

Replacing cables or plugs

If the mains cable becomes damaged, it must be replaced with a special mains cable available from the manufacturer or the manufacturer's customer service. Dispose of old cables or plugs immediately after replacing them with new ones. It is dangerous to connect the plug of a loose cable to a socket.
