4 – OPERATION AND USE
4.1 - OPERATION
Bench top models should be placed on a work table in front of the
operator; floor models must be positioned in such a way that they cannot
be inadvertently displaced by the pressure exerted by the operator's foot –
the unit should ideally be located against a contrast such as a pillar.
Check that the appliance is working by setting the main power switch (1)
to ON and then pressing footpedal (2) (or by operating lever (9) in the
case of floor models); the motor should begin to rotate. If the motor fails
to start set the main power switch to OFF, unplug the appliance and then
check that the various connectors are in the correct positions.
Always switch OFF the appliance after use.
