2 Preparing for use

2.1 Electrical connection

Before connecting the machine to the power
supply, check that your supply voltage
corresponds with that marked on the rating label.

The power supply cord plus any extension leads
should not exceed 30m in total, otherwise you
may experience problems starting up the
machine. The cross-section of any extension
cable wiring must be at least 2,5 mm

².

Should an extension cord be used, ensure cord
rating is adequate for the equipment. Do not use
extension cord in coiled condition as this could
result in overheating of the cord.

UK only

The supply cord for 230v models is fitted with a
plug containing a 13 amp fuse. Should the fuse
require replacement it must only be replaced by a
13 amp fuse conforming to BS1362, and the fuse
cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost the
plug must not be used until the correct
replacement cover is fitted.

IMPORTANT - If the supply cord is damaged, it
must only be replaced by a special cord available
from the manufacturer or an authorised service
agent.
