Connect the equipment to a
power socked with a residual-
current circuit breaker that has
a rated current of not more than
30 mA.
•
Protect the equipment from
moisture. The equipment must
not be moist nor operated in a
moist environment. Water entry
into the equipment increases
the risk of electric shock.
•
Avoid body contact with earthed
parts (e.g. metal fences, metal
posts). There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed.
•
Only use extension cables
with a maximum length of 75
m that have been approved
for open-air use. The stranded
cord diameter of the extension
cable must be at least 2.5 mm
Always unreel a cable drum
to its full length so that the en-
tire cable can be inspected for
damage.
•
Never pass an operating equip-
ment over the extension cable.
Ensure that the power cable is
always trailing behind the op-
erator. The extension cable can
be accidentally severed.
•
Use the envisaged cable sus-
pensions when attaching an
extension cable.
•
Never carry the equipment by
its power cable. Never pull the
cable to disconnect the plug
from the mains socket. Protect
the cable from heat, oil and
sharp edges. The mains power
cable could be damaged.
