Instruction manual
WARNING! Use proper extension cord!
Use only proper extension cords that
accept the tool’s plug. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition.
Replace or repair damaged or worn cord
immediately. When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough
to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating.
UNPACKING
When unpacking, check to make sure that all
components are included. Refer to the drawings on this
manual. If any parts are missing or broken, please call
IVT assistance center.
INITIAL OPERATION
Always use the correct supply voltage: the power supply
voltage must match the information quoted on the tool
identification plate.
AUXILIARY HANDLE (3)
For all work with the machine, the auxiliary handle (3)
must be mounted. You will be able to obtain a safe body
position when working by rotating the handle attachement.
