5.2 Specific safety rules
a) Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with
a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool
"live" and shock the operator.
6. Before use
-NOTE-
The voltage provided by the electric supply must cor-
respond to the information given on the type plate on
the power tool.
6.1 Using extension cords
Use only extension cords of a type approved for the
application and with conductors of adequate cross
section. Failure to observe this point may cause the
tool to loose power and the extension cord may over-
heat. Check the extension cord for damage at regular
intervals. Replace damaged extension cords.

-WARNING-
To reduce the risk of injury, user must read instruction
manual.
6.2 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 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 may cause under-
voltage and / or overvoltage peaks, resulting in dam-
age to the power tool.
