m in length. Longer power supply cables will cause a drop in 
voltage. The motor will not be able to provide its maximum 
performance and the operation of the machine will be 
impaired.

accessory parts. Accidents can arise for the user through 
the  use of other spare parts. The manufacturer is not 
liable for any damage or injury resulting from such action.
