Electrical safety

The electric motor has been designed for one
voltage only. Always check that the power supply
corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Your tool is double insulated in
accordance with EN 61029; therefore no
earth wire is required.

are competent to do this, proceed as instructed
below. If you are in doubt, contact an authorized

in the plug (see below). Brown is for Live (L) (2)

• Before replacing the top cover of the mains plug
ensure that the cable restraint (3) is holding the
outer sheath of the cable firmly and that the two
leads are correctly fixed at the terminal screws.
Never use a light socket.
Never connect the live (L) or neutral (N)
wires to the earth pin marked E or
