General Electrical Safety Rules

1. Avoid dangerous environments such as damp

locations.

2. Do not abuse the power cord. Never pull a machine

by the cord or pull the cord to disconnect it from the

outlet socket. Keep the cord away from excessive

heat, oil, and sharp edges.

3. Disconnect the machine when not in use, before

servicing and when changing attachments.

4. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure to switch off before

plugging the cord into a power outlet.

5. To prevent electrical shock, use the machine only

with an extension cord suitable for outdoor use as

recommended by the extension cord manufacturer;

the use of suitable extension cords is extremely

important for the operator’s personal safety.

6. Never use an indoor type of extension cord: these

cords are designed for use with lamps and small

appliances and are inadequate for high-powered

machines.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

7. Make sure the extension cord is in good condition. A

cord with cracked or broken insulation is hazardous,

particularly in the presence of moisture or combustible

material. It is also important that the cord connectors

be of rugged construction, in good condition, and

securely attached to the outer jacket.

8. If the extension cord is damaged in any manner while

operating the machine, immediately switch off the

power supply and remove the extension cord from

the power outlet.

9. If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by

a CMG Service Agent or similarly qualified person

in order to avoid a hazard.

Electrical Supply Capacity and Fuses
1. Use only an electric circuit having adequate

capacity.

2. Blowing a fuse or tripping a circuit breaker is a

warning that you are overloading your machine or

have too many devices in use on that circuit, or both.

Determine the cause and correct it. Do not install a

higher capacity fuse.
