Important Notes about Mains
Connection for 110 Volts, 50-60Hz
Caution:
Read and observe these precautions before using
the tool. Non-observance of these precautions may
lead to personal injuries and damage to the tool!
The tool was built according to the European
Standards EN60745-1
motor-driven power tools; here in particular section
of power tools with water connection) and EN60309-2
(plugs, receptacles and couplings for industrial
applications). When applying these standards, the
earth contact position of the plug-in device may only
be carried out in "12 o'clock position".
The tool has a plug-in device with a "12 o'clock"
earth contact position.
However, since the European Standard EN60309-2
does not provide a differentiation regarding the
supply voltage and this earth contact position, there
is the possibility to confuse the connection to an
isolating transformer with another output voltage
(e.g. 230 V). When connecting the tool to an isolating
transformer, make absolutely sure to use the correct
output voltage (110 V, 50 - 60 Hz).
This tool is designed exclusively for connection to an
isolating transformer with an output voltage of 110 V.
Due to its use in wet conditions (water connection on
the tool), this tool must never be connected to a
power supply without an isolating transformer.
Damages caused by inappropriate tampering with
the plug-in device are not subject to warranty or
legal guarantee claims.
Contact your specialist supplier for an isolating
transformer suitable for your tool.
