Garland BULK 516 E Instruction Manual page 29

Never use this machine with the cable or the mains
switch damaged. Before start up, always check the
mains and the cable for any damages. If you see
any possible damage, do not start the machine and
either repair the machines or take the machine for
repair. Damaged or tangled cables increase the risk
of electric shocks.
The change of the mains switch and/or of the cable
must be carried out by the manufacturer or by the
after sales service. We recommend that the machine
should be connected to a residual differential
connector that is less or up to 30mA.
Never use the machine in a damaged
electrical mains or with a damaged cable and
that do not meet the requirements and standards
necessary for this machine. When using an extra
electrical cable, make sure that its minimun section
is 1,5 mm2 and that it is adequate for outdoor use.
The use of a prolongator adequate for outdoor use will
highly reduce the risk of electrical shocks.
Place the cable prolongator in such a way that it does
not get tangled with branches and other objects in the
working area. The cable prolongator must always be
behind the user.
Always disconnect the cable from the mains before
doing any maintenance work on the machine. Only
manipulate the machine when disconnected from the
mains.
