Original Instructions
• It is recommended that the electrical supply to the machine should include a residual current
device that will interrupt the supply if the leakage current to earth exceeds 30 mA for 30 ms.
• Inadequate extension cables can be dangerous. If an extension cable is used, it shall be
suitable for outdoor use, and the connection has to be kept dry and off the ground
• Nilfi sk recommends use of an extension cable drum when cable extension is needed which
keeps the socket at least 60 mm above the ground.
• Cables on extension cable drums should always be completely unwound to prevent overheating. Extension cables must comply with the below-mentioned requirements for length and
cable dimensions:
1.0 mm² Max. 12.5 m
1.5 mm² Max. 20.0 m
2.5 mm² Max. 30.0 m
