As the colours of the wires in the mains cable of the unit may not correspond to the coloured markings identifying the terminals in the plug, proceed as follows:

• The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
• The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

• using the tool for different applications, or with different or poorly maintainted accessories, may significantly increase the exposure level
• the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job, may significantly reduce the exposure level

Protect yourself against the effects of vibration by maintaining the tool and its accessories, keeping your hands warm, and organizing your work patterns.
