6.5 Electrical connection
The standard version of the machine must be connected to a mains 230V SINGLE PHASE.
The change of the power supply cannot be realized by the user; it must be requested to the MANUFACTURER or to a dealer or to an
authorized service center. To accomplish the electric connection, connect the machine’s power supply cable with the plug in use in
the country.
ALL OPERATIONS TO MAKE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AND INTERVENTIONS (HOWEVER LIGHT) ON
ELECTRICAL PARTS MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
The dimensioning of electrical connection must be carried out in according to electric power absorbed by the machine. Absorption
is specified in paragraph 10. The user must:
- Check that the supply voltage correspond to the voltage indicate on the nameplate of the machine;
- Check the conditions of the wire and the presence of the ground conductor;
- Check the machine is connected to its own electrical connection, fitted with a proper 30 mA sensitive automatic circuit breaker,
against a possible electrical overload over 30 mA;
- Connect the power supply cable to the plug with great care and following to the current regulations.
WHEN THE MACHINE IS TURNED OFF FOR A LONG TIME IT IS NECESSARY TO DISCONNECT THE POWER PLUG
TO AVOID USE BY UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL.
IF THE MACHINE IS CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO THE POWER SUPPLY BY MEANS OF THE MAIN ELECTRICAL
BOARD AND WITHOUT THE USE OF A PLUG, INSTALL A KEY-OPERATED SWITCH TO RESTRICT THE MACHINE
USE EXCLUSIVELY TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
IN CASE OF OPERATIONS ON ELECTRIC PARTS, CABLES ENGINES OR ANY ELECTRIC DEVICES, IT IS NECESSARY
TO CUT OFF THE ELECTRICITY.
DO NOT REMOVE, DAMAGE AND MAKE COMPLETELY ILLEGIBLE THE STICKERS OF DANGER, WARNING,
INSTRUCTIONS AND CAUTION. REPLACED OR DAMAGED STICKERS CAN BE FOUND AT THE NEAREST DEALER
OF MANUFACTURER.
THE DAMAGE FOR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE ABOVE WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS, IT WOULD BE NOT
CHARGED AGAINST THE MANUFACTURER AND IT MAY CAUSE THE INVALIDATION OF THE WARRANTY.

9. ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION
THE DISPOSAL PROCEDURE DESCRIBED BELOW ONLY APPLIES TO MACHINES WITH
THE SYMBOL OF THE CROSSED-OUT WHEELIE BIN ON THEIR DATA PLATES.
The crossed-out wheelie bin symbol, placed on the product and on this page, reminds the user that the product must be disposed of
properly at the end of its life. This product may contain substances that can be hazardous to the environment and to human health
if it is not disposed of properly. We are therefore providing you with the information below in order to prevent these substances
from being released into the environment and to improve the use of natural resources. Electrical and electronic equipment must
never be disposed of in the usual municipal waste but must be separately collected for their proper treatment. Thus, the hazardous
consequences that non-specific treatments of the substances contained in these products, or improper use of parts of them, may
have on the environment or on human health are prevented. Furthermore, this helps to recover, recycle and reuse many of the
materials contained in these products. Electrical and electronic manufacturers and distributors set up proper collection and
treatment systems for these products for this purpose. At the end of the product’s working life contact your supplier for information
about disposal procedures. When you purchase this product, your supplier will also inform you that you may return another worn-
out appliance to him free of charge, provided it is of the same type and has provided the same functions as the product just purchased.
Any disposal of the product performed in a different way from that described above will be liable to the penalties provided for by the
nation regulations in force in the country where the product is disposed of. We also ask you to adopt other environmentally-friendly
measures: recycle the internal and external packaging that the product comes in and suitably dispose of used batteries (only if
contained in the product). Your help is critical to reduce the amount of natural resources used for manufacturing electrical and
electronic equipment, minimize the use of landfills for product disposal and improve the quality of life, preventing potentially
hazardous substances from being released in the environment.
