Additional information for electric power tools
Warning!
The specified vibration value was established in
accordance with a standardized testing method. It
may change according to how the electric equipment
is used and may exceed the specified value in
exceptional circumstances.
The specified vibration value can be used to compare
the equipment with other electric power tools.
The specified vibration value can be used for initial
assessment of a harmful effect.
Keep the noise emissions and vibrations to a
minimum.
n
Only use appliances which are in perfect working
order.
n
Service and clean the appliance regularly.
n
Adapt your working style to suit the appliance.
n
Do not overload the appliance.
n
Have the appliance serviced whenever
necessary.
n
Switch the appliance off when it is not in use.
n
Wear protective gloves.
Residual risks
Even if you use this electric power tool in
accordance with instructions, certain residual
risks cannot be rules out. The following hazards
may arise in connection with the equipment’s
construction and layout:
1. Lung damage if no suitable protective dust mask
is used.
2. Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protection is
used.
3. Health damage caused by hand-arm vibrations if
the equipment is used over a prolonged period or
is not properly guided and maintained.
5. Before starting the equipment
Assembly (Fig. 3-6)
앬
Move the transport wheel into the lowest position
(Fig. 3/Item E). To do so, undo the retaining
screw (Fig. 3 / Item 13) and remove. Finally,
replace the screw and tighten.
앬
Attach the bottom push bar (Fig. 4/Item 2) to the
push bar brackets using two screws (Fig. 4/Item
9) and two washers (Fig. 4/Item 10), two spring
rings (Fig. 4/Item 11) and two nuts (Figure 4/Item
12) on each side.
앬
Slide the strain-relief clamp (Fig. 5/Item 5) onto
the top push bar (Fig. 5 / Item 1). Attach the top
push bar (Fig. 5/Item 1) to the bottom push bars
(Fig. 5/Item 2) with two screws (Fig. 5/Item 9)
and two star nuts (Fig. 5/Item 8).
앬
Fasten the two cable securing clamps (Fig.
6/Item 7) to the bottom push bar.
Power supply
The machine can be connected to any light socket-
outlet (with 230 Volt alternating current). However,
the socket outlet must have an earthing contact
protected by a 16 A circuit breaker. Additionally, a
residual current device (RCD) circuit-breaker with
max. 30 mA must be used!
Power cable for the device
Please only use power cables that are not damaged.
The total length of the power cable should not
exceed 50 meters; going beyond this distance will
reduce the power output of the electric motor. The
power cable must have a cross-section of 3 x 1.5
mm
2
. The insulating sheath of such machines is
frequently damaged.
Some of the causes for this are:
n
Cracking due to old age of the insulation
n
Kinking caused by improper fastening or
guidance of the power cable
Even though power cables with damaged insulation
sheaths pose a lethal hazard, some people still use
them. Do not make this mistake! Cables, plugs and
socket couplers must meet the following
requirements listed below. Power cables used to
connect machines must have a rubber insulation
sheath.
