Power Requirements

• WARNING If faults or breakdowns happen. Ground connection offers a trajectory with minimum resistance for electric power. It reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is built with a power cable with an earth conductor and a plug with ground connection. The plug shall be connected into a power outlet installed and grounded according to all local codes.

• WARNING Do not modify the plug supplied. If the plug cannot be fitted to the socket, have a qualified electrician to install the suitable socket.

• It is safe to use only if the extensions have a built-in artifact for over current protection.
  AWG = American Wire Gauge. Reference: NMX-J-195-ANCE

• WARNING When operating power tools outdoors, use a grounded extension cable labeled “For Outdoors Use”. These extensions are specially designed for operating outdoors and reduce the risk of electric shock. There is risk of fire if the tool is not used with care, so it is necessary to:

• WARNNG Be careful when using the tool in places where combustible materials are present. Do not apply in the same place for prolonged periods. Do not use in the presence of explosive atmospheres.
