break in the product’s internal insulation. Observe
all normal safety precautions to avoid electrical
shock.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This product has a precision-built electric motor.
It should be connected to a
power supply that is
220-240 volts, 50 Hz, AC only (normal household
current).
Do not operate this product on direct current
(DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of
power and the motor will overheat. If the product does
not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check
the power supply.
EXTENSION CORDS
See Figure 1.
The cross-section of any extension cables used must
be proportional to their length, i.e. the longer the
extension cable, the greater the cross-section; cables
with a protection level of “IPX5” must be used.
Use the chart to determine the minimum wire size
required in an extension cord.
