2. Electrical installaon (1)
Take the NL-35 v.3 out of the box and place the machine on a stable work table in the vicinity of a grounded
socket. The NL-35 v.3 is connected to the power supply (230 V alternang current) with the supplied mains
cable. The NL-35 v.3 is grounded and equipped with two fuses type T 16 A.
3. Pneumac installaon (2)
In order to be able to work with the NL-35 v.3 without problems, it is very important that you work with
