Connecting To Power Supply; Switching On - Stihl MSE 170 C Instruction Manual

Connecting to Power Supply

The voltage and frequency of the
machine (see rating plate) must match
the voltage and frequency of the power
connection.
The minimum fuse protection of the
power connection must comply with the
specifications – see "Specifications".
The machine must be connected to the
power supply via an earth-leakage
circuit breaker to disconnect the power
supply if the differential current to earth
exceeds 30 mA.
The power connection must correspond
to IEC 60364 and relevant national
regulations.
Extension cords
If the fuse or circuit breaker is tripped
when you switch on the saw, use an
extension cord (at least 35 ft/10 m long)
that meets the specifications in the
following table.
Minimum wire size for extension cords
for 120 Volt appliances:
Cord types: SJW - A or SJTW - A
Round jacketed cords
MSE 170 C:
Cord length (ft) 50 100
Wire size (AWG) 14 12
MSE 210 C:
Cord length (ft) 50 100

not recommanded
MSE 170 C, MSE 210 C
If you use an extension cord that is too
long or has a conductor cross section
too small, it may cause an overload and
permanently damage the motor.
Cable drum
Always unwind the cord completely. It
should be equipped with thermal
protection.
Polarized Plug
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
equipment has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other).This plug
will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install
the proper outlet. Do not change the
plug in any way.
Connecting to Wall Outlet
Connect the power tool's plug or the
N
extension cord's plug to a properly
installed wall outlet.
