 The machine should only be operated in the open. Always
maintain a safe distance (at least 2 m) from walls or other
fixed objects.
 Do not operate the machine in bad weather conditions.
 Before each use:
Check the supply / extension cable for damages (cracks,
−
cuts or the like) or ageing (brittleness).
Do not use defective supply or extension cables.
Check there is no damage at the machine (see safety
−
instructions).

Mains connection
 Compare the voltage given on the machine model plate e.g.
230 V with the mains voltage and connect the machine to the
relevant and properly earthed plug.
 Connect the machine via a circuit breaker switch (residual-
current-operated circuit switch) 30 mA.
 Always use three-conductor extension cables with connected
earthing conductor and sufficient cross section.
In case of disadvantageous power system conditions short-

term voltage reductions can occur during the starting process
of the device which can influence other devices (e.g. jittering
of a lamp). No failures are expected when the house service
connection has a continuous current-carrying capacity
greater than 100 A per phase.
