When using electric machines always observe
the safety regulations applicable in your country
to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and
personal injury. Read the following safety
instructions and also the enclosed safety
instructions.
Always check that the power supply
corresponds to the voltage on the
rating plate.
Your machine is double insulated in
accordance with EN 60745; therefore
no earthwire is required.

Immediately throw away old cables or plugs
when they have been replaced by new ones. It
is dangerous to insert the plug of a loose cable
in the wall outlet.
Using extension cables
Only use an approved extension cable suitable
for the power input of the machine. The
