Verify that the section of the feeding wire is able to support the power that the machine uses up in full load. For greater safety, the wire must be protected from involuntary crushing by a raceway or an anti-crushing sheathing. Before beginning the work, verify that the rotation direction of the spindles corresponds to the direction of the pointer applied to the drilling units.
