6.3 Use of a generator or transformer
This tool may be powered by a generator or transformer
which fulfils the following conditions:
– AC voltage output, power output at least 2600 W.
– The operating voltage must be within +5 % and –
15 % of the rated voltage at all times.
– Frequency range 50–60 Hz, never above 65 Hz.
– Automatic voltage regulation with starting boost.
Never operate other tools or appliances from the gen-
erator or transformer at the same time. Switching other
tools or appliances on and off can cause undervoltage
and/or overvoltage peaks which may cause damage to
the power tool.
