Before connecting a tool to a power source be sure that the voltage supply is the
same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool.
•
A power source with a voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in
serious injury to the user, as well as damage to the tool.
If in doubt, do not plug in the
tool. Using a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the
motor.
•
Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid potential overheating.
•
When an extension cable is required, you must ensure that it has the right ampere
rating for your power tool and it is in safe electrical condition.
•
