Maintain the work area clean and work with good
illumination. Work areas that are not tidy and/or dark
could cause accidents.
Do not use this machine in explosive atmospheres,
for example, inflammable liquids, gases and dust or
even smoke.

work area and not protected by boots, goggles and
homologated protective clothing.
2.4. ELECTRIC SECURITY
Do not touch the electric mains and cables with wet hands.
Connect this machine only to alternate current
230V/50 Hz.
The electric plug of this machine must coincide
with the electric mains. Do not modify in any way
the electric plug. Electric plugs not modified and that
coincide with the electric mains would reduce the risk
of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as
tubes, radiators, electric kitchens and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if in
contact with earthed products.
Do not expose this machine to rain or humid
conditions. The water that could enter the machine
could increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not overstretch the cable. Do not use the cable
to transport the machine, to lift the machine or to
remove from the electric mains. Maintain the cable
far away from heat sources, oil, sharp edges or
pieces in movement. Damaged cables or twisted
cables increase the risk of electric shock.
Never use the machine with a damaged cable or
with the electric mains damaged. Before connecting
the machine, check the plug and the cables for
damages. If you discover any damages take
your machine to your nearest after sales service
for repair. If the cable is damaged or broken,
disconnect the machine immediately. Damaged
cables or twisted cables increase the risk of electric
shock.
The substitution of the plug or cable should be done
by an approved and homologated after sales service.
We recommend that this machine should be
connected to residual differential whose current is
lower or equal to 30mA.
Always connect the machine to an earthed electric mains.
Never use a damaged cable or a damaged
electric mains, or that does not comply with current
normative or those required for this machine. When
using a electric extension for the cable, make sure
that it has a minimum section of 1.5 mm 2
should not be longer than 25 metres in length and
homologated for outdoor use. Both the plug and the
base of the electric extension must be waterproof
and should never be submerged in water. The use
of an adequate electric extension will reduce the
risk of electric shock.
Place the electric extension so that it does not hook
itself on branches and other obstacles and ensuring
that it is not in the working area. The cable extension
should always be behind the user.
