OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Electrical tool connections
- Insert the tool's plug into the socket (21) on the unit;
- if the tool is equipped with a vacuum device, connect it to the 2-way (30) link
using the sleeve (47);
- do not connect tools with loads over their rated capacity
(2x800 W max)
to the
electrical sockets.
Pneumatic tool connections
- Connect the compressed air hose to the rapid fitting on the unit (20); connect
the other end to the tool;
- if the tool is equipped with a vacuum device, connect it to the 2-way (30) link
using the sleeve (optional) (48).
Preliminary checks
- Check that the dust bag is in the container and that the filter is assembled on the
head;
- check that the vacuum hose is properly fixed and does not hinder tool move-
ment;
