ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING! Read these electrical safety instructions thoroughly
before connecting the chainsaw to the mains supply.
Before switching the chainsaw on, make sure that the voltage of your electricity supply
is the same as that indicated on the rating plate. This chainsaw is designed to operate
on 230V AC 50Hz. Connecting it to any other power source may cause damage.
This chainsaw is fitted with a non-rewireable plug. If it is necessary to change the fuse in
the plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover becomes lost or damaged,
the plug must not be used until a suitable replacement is obtained.
If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or due to
damage, it should be cut off and a replacement fitted, following the wiring instructions
shown below. The old plug must be disposed of safely, as insertion into a mains socket
could cause an electrical hazard.
WARNING! The wires in the power cable of this chainsaw are
coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue = Neutral
If the colours of the wires in the power cable of this chainsaw do not correspond with
the markings on the terminals of your plug, proceed as follows.
• The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is
marked N or coloured Black.
• The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal which is
marked L or coloured Red.
Ensure that the outer sheath of the cable is firmly held by the clamp
We strongly recommend that this machine is connected to the mains supply via a
Residual Current Device (RCD)
If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt any repairs yourself.
This symbol indicates that this is a Class II chainsaw, and does not require an
earth connection.
