ELECTRICAL AND PNEUMATIC HOOK-UPS
WARNING
All operations required for the electrical hook-up of the equipment must be carried
out exclusively by a qualified electrician.
- The electrical supply must be suitably sized in relation to:
• the machine's electrical power absorption, specified on the machine's dataplate -19
fig. 5;
• the distance between the machine and the power supply hook-up point, so that volt-
age drops under full load do not exceed 4% (10% during start-up) below the rated
voltage specified on the dataplate.
- The user must:
• fit a power plug in compliance with the relevant safety standards on the power supply
lead;
• connect the machine to its own electrical connection - A fig. 6 - having a differential
a type A and B safety circuit-breaker with sensitivity 30 mA;
WARNING: only a type A and B differential security breaker of the specified kind will
be tripped correctly in response to all the failure currents which may occur on the
machine.
• fit fuses to protect the power supply line, rated as indicated on the general electrical
system diagram enclosed with this manual;
• provide the workshop's electrical system with a protective earth connection circuit in
good working order.
- To prevent unauthorised use of the machine, always disconnect the mains plug when
the machine is out of use (switched off) for lengthy periods.
- If the machine is connected directly to the power supply by means of the main electri-
cal panel without the use of a plug, a key-switch or device with padlock fixture must be
provided to restrict use of the machine to authorised personnel only.
WARNING
A good earth connection is essential for correct operation of the machine.
NEVER connect the earth wire to a gas or water pipe, telephone wire or any other
unsuitable objects.
Check that the pressure and flow-rate provided by the compressed air system are com-
patible with those required for proper operation of the machine - see "Technical Data"
section. For correct operation of the machine the compressed air supply line must provide
a pressure range from no less than 8 bar to no more than 16 bar.
Make the connection to the compressed air system by means of a supply line connected
to the intake of the air treatment unit on the side of the base of the machine - A fig. 7.
