6. Before use
-NOTE-
The voltage provided by the electric supply must cor-
respond to the information given on the type plate on
the power tool.
6.1 Using extension cords
● Use only extension cords of a type approved for the
application and with conductors of adequate cross
section. Failure to observe this point may cause the
tool to loose power and the extension cord may over-
heat. Check the extension cord for damage at regular
intervals. Replace damaged extension cords.
5.2 Specific safety rules
a) Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with
a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool
“live” and shock the operator.
-WARNING-
To reduce the risk of injury, user must read instruction
manual.
6.2 Use of a generator or transformer
This tool may be powered by a generator or transformer
which fulfils the following conditions:
● AC voltage, output power at least 2600 W.
● The operating voltage must be within +5% and –15%
of the rated voltage at all times.
● Frequency range 50–60 Hz; never above 65 Hz.
● Automatic voltage regulation with starting boost.
● Never operate other tools or appliances from the gen-
erator or transformer at the same time. Switching
other tools or appliances on and off may cause under-
voltage and / or overvoltage peaks, resulting in dam-
age to the power tool.
