Power connection
The machine can only be connected to a single-
phase a.c. current connection. The machine is
protectively insulated in accordance with classi-
fication II of VDE 0740 and can therefore be connected
to sockets without earth connections. Before using
the machine ensure that the mains current agrees
with the operating voltage data on the machine’s
identification plate.
Power Circuit Breaker
Machines which will be used in different
outside locations must be connected to a
Power Circuit Breaker.
