The machine does not run : Check the power supply is connected and suitable in regard to the
motor power consumption.
The machine does not cut. Check the conditions of the cutting blade and ensure the pipe
you are trying to cut does not require special tools to be worked. Always ask suggestions to
your referent in G.B.C. as we are at your complete disposal.
The acoustic emissions are within the maximum limits provided by the current Machinery Direc-
