Electrical connection English - ELECTRICAL SAFETY : Operate this machine only on a supply equipped with a 30 mA earthed current-limiting circuitbreaker. Otherwise, consult our catalogue for appropriate models. - The RCCB must be used correctly, including testing it regularly. For tools supplied with an integral RCCB in the cable or in the mains plug, if the cable or plug has been damaged, repairs must be carried out the manufacturer, one of his agents or by a qualified repair workshop to avoid any risks resulting from errors. - Make sure that the mains voltage corresponds with that marked on the manufacturer's plate on the machine. - Three-phase motor Make sure that the motor rotates in the same direction as the arrow stamped on the casing: if the motor does not turn in the direction required, swap two of the supply wires. 2P+T

- Use the following types of plug, single phase 2 P + E, or 3xPx+xE / 3xPx+xNx+xE according to the corresponding voltage.

• To set to a different depth of cut, release the lever (K). Always pay extreme care and attention to the preparation of the machine before starting up.
