Les symboles ci-dessous sont utilisés à travers ce manuel comme illustré dans leurs descriptions :
DEGRÉS DE RISQUES EN CAS DE DANGER
Il existe trois degrés de risques identifiés par les termes signalétiques –AVERTISSEMENT et
ATTENTION et POUR VOTRE SÉCURITÉ. Le degré de risque est défini de la manière suivante :
AVERTISSEMENT - Dangers ou méthodes dangereuses qui POURRAIENT provoquer de graves blessures ou

immobiliers.
POUR VOTRE SÉCURITÉ : ce signe permet d’identifier les mesures de précaution à prendre pour assurer
un bon fonctionnement du matériel.
Rendre compte immédiatement d’une défaillance ou d’une détérioration de la machine. Ne pas utiliser la machine si
celle-ci ne fonctionne pas correctement. Lire soigneusement les informations ci-dessous signalant certains dangers
potentiels pour l’opérateur de la machine. L’opérateur doit être absolument au courant de ces dangers potentiels.
Localiser tous les dispositifs de sécurité sur la machine. Il est conseillé de prendre les mesures nécessaires pour

POUR VOTRE SÉCURITÉ :
NE PAS MANOEUVRER LA MACHINE :
Lorsqu’on n’est pas expérimenté ou qualifié.
Lorsque le guide d’utilisation n’est pas été lu ou compris.
Dans des zones inflammables ou explosives.
Dans des zones où des objets peuvent tomber.
LORS DE L’ENTRETIEN DE LA MACHINE :

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
CLIPPER 86038240 2-

ELECTRICAL:
In the USA, this machine operates on a standard 15
amp 115V, 60 Hz, A.C. power circuit. The amp,
hertz, and voltage are listed on the data label found
on each machine. Using voltages above or below
those indicated on the data label will cause serious
damage to the motors.
EXTENSION CORDS:
If an extension cord is used, the wire size must be at
least one size larger than the power cord on the
machine, and must be limited to 50 feet (15.5m) in
length.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
This appliance must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or break down, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be
inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt
circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like the
plug in “Fig. A”. A temporary adaptor that looks like
the adaptor in “Fig. C” may be used to connect this
plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in “Fig. B”, if a
properly grounded outlet is not available. The
temporary adaptor should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (Fig. A) can be installed by
a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear,
lug, or wire extending from the adaptor must be
connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the
adaptor is used, it must be held in place by a metal
screw.
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician
or service person if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not
modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it
will not fit the outlet; have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Le raccordement incorrect du conducteur de
terre d'équipement peut entraîner des risques
d'électrocution. Vérifiez auprès d'un électricien
qualifié ou d'un responsable de l'entretien si
vous avez quelque doute que ce soit quant au
raccordement à la terre de votre prise murale. Ne
modifiez pas la fiche fournie avec l'appareil : si
elle ne correspond pas à la prise murale, faites
installer une prise adéquate par un électricien
qualifié. Utilisez-le uniquement sur des
réceptacles protégés GFCI.
