ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Always check that the
power supply
corresponds to the
voltage on the rating
plate.
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 mm2. The insulating sheath
of such machines is frequently
damaged. Some of the causes for this
are:
- Cracking due to old age of the
insulation
- 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.
The power cables must, at the very
minimum, be of type HO5RN-F and
3-stranded. The cable type must
be printed somewhere on the power
cable. Only purchase power cables that
are marked! Plugs and socket couplers
for the power cables must be made
from rubber and splash-proof. There is
a limit to how long power cables can be.
Longer power cables require larger
conductor cross-sections. Power
cables and connecting lines must be
regularly checked for damage. Ensure
that the lines are deenergized before
checking them. Completely unwind the
power cable. Also check power cable
entry points, plugs and socket couplers
for kinks.
The machine is intended for private use
i.e. for use in home and gardening
environments.
The operating instructions as supplied
by the manufacturer must be kept and
referred to in order to ensure that the
machine is properly used and
maintained. The instructions contain
valuable information on operating,
maintenance and servicing conditions.
For safety reasons, the machine may
not be used as a drive unit for other
work tools or tool sets of any kind.
