information relating to mains voltage in the technical
data; do not use any other supply voltage.
Only use extension cables that are intended for
„
outdoor use – minimum cross section 1.5 mm
reel in cable drums fully.
Do not use damaged or brittle extension cables.
„
Check the condition of your extension cable before
„
each use.
