Power supply
▶ The voltage indicated on the rating plate must cor-
respond to the voltage of the power source.
▶ We recommend that this equipment is only
connected into a socket which is protected by a cir-
cuit-breaker that would be actuated by a 30 mA re-
sidual current.
▶ This is a class I unit and may only be connected to
properly earthed power sources.
▶ Remove the plug from socket whenever the ma-
chine is left unattended for any period.
▶ The electric supply installation should comply with
IEC 60364-1.

▶ Do not pull plug while operating the device.
▶ Do not run over, crush or pull the power supply ca-
ble or extension lead, otherwise it may be dama-
ged. Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp ed -
ges.
▶ Do not use the appliance, if the power supply cable
or important parts, e. g. high-pressure hose, trigger
gun or safety devices are damaged.
▶ Warning: Inadequate extension cords can be dan-
gerous.
▶ If an extension cord is used, the plug and socket
must be of watertight construction. The extensi-
