• The motor of this machine can emit sparks, and can ignite fl ammable gases.
• Extension cables. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension, be sure
of their ability to transmit the electrical current used by your product. An undersized cord will cause drop in
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to be used
depending on the cable diameter and amperage rate. If in doubt, use a cable with a higher level of capacity.
IMPORTANT: Do not use an extension cord with length above 20 meters.
CAUTION: FAILURE TO ATTEND THESE WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY AND SERIOUS
DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE.
• Protect the electrical power supply line with at least a 20 amp fuse or a circuit breaker switch.
