Safety
We at Taylor Company are committed to manufacturing 
safe operating and serviceable machines. The many 
built-in safety features that are part of all Taylor machines 
are aimed at protecting operators and trained service 
technicians alike.
NOTICE! This manual is intended exclusively 
for Taylor service personnel.
Per IEC 60335-1 and its part 2 standards, this machine is 
to be used only by trained personnel. It is not intended for 
use by children or people with reduced physical, sensory, 
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and 
knowledge, unless given supervision or instruction 
concerning the use of the appliance by a person 
responsible for their safety.
CAUTION! DO NOT attempt to run the machine 
unless you have been properly trained to do so. Failure 
to do so can result in personal injury or machine damage.
WARNING! This machine must be properly 
grounded! DO NOT operate this machine unless it is 
properly grounded and all service panels and access 
doors are restrained with screws. Failure to do so can 
result in severe personal injury from electrical shock!
WARNING! Avoid injury.
•DO NOT attempt any repairs unless the main 
power supply to the machine has been 
disconnected.
•DO NOT operate the machine with larger fuses 
than specified on the data label.
• Stationary machines which are not equipped 
with a power cord and plug or other device to 
disconnect the machine from the power source 
must have an all-pole disconnecting device with 
a contact gap of at least 0.125 in. (3 mm) 
installed in the external installation.
• Machines that are permanently connected to 
fixed wiring and for which leakage currents may 
exceed 10 mA, particularly when disconnected, 
not used for long periods, or during initial 
installation, shall have protective devices to 
protect against the leakage of current, such as a 
GFI, and be installed by authorized personnel to 
the local codes.
• Supply cords used with this machine shall be
oil-resistant, sheathed flexible cable, not lighter 
than ordinary polychloroprene or other 
equivalent synthetic elastomer-sheathed cord 
(code designation 60245 IEC 57) installed with 
the proper cord anchorage to relieve conductors 
from strain, including twisting, at the terminals 
and protect the insulation of the conductors 
from abrasion.
•For Cord-Connected Machines: Only Taylor 
service technicians may install a plug on this 
machine.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in 
electrocution or damage to the machine.
IMPORTANT! This machine is provided with 
an equipotential grounding lug that is to be properly 
attached to either the rear of the frame or the underside 
of the base pan near the entry hole for incoming power, 
by the authorized installer. The installation location is 
marked by the equipotential bonding symbol (5021 of 
IEC 604171) on both the removable panel and the 
machine’s frame, as well as on the diagram.
CAUTION! DO NOT remove the machine door 
or any internal operating parts (examples: beater, scraper 
blades, etc.) unless all control switches are in the OFF 
position. Failure to follow these instructions may result in 
severe personal injury from hazardous moving parts.
