Safety during the operation of hand machines

Setting the hand machine down properly
Set the machine down carefully. Do not drop the machine to the floor or from greater heights. Dropping
the machine can cause injuries to other persons or the machine itself can be damaged.
Safe working with hand machines
While working, always hold the machine on the handle provided.
4.7

Safety during the operation of electric appliances

Electric power supply for class I electrical appliances
NOTES
The rated voltage is indicated on the nameplate of your machine.
The machine must be connected to a 15 A/16 A shock-proof plug receptacle (continental type) with a
corresponding overload protection.
The machine may only be connected to an electric power supply with all machine parts in proper working
condition. Take special notice of the following components:
Plug.

Power cable along the entire length.

Switch diaphragm of the ON/OFF switch, if there is one.

Plug receptacles.

The machine must only be connected to an electric power supply with an intact grounded conductor
connection (PE) and a 15 A/16 A plug receptacle with shock-proof connector and suitable overload
protection.
The device must only be connected to one of the following power sources in accordance with the
standard:
Do not connect the unit directly to the construction site power supply system.

A motor generator which ensures the same separation from the power supply as an isolating

transformer (IT network or electrically isolated).
Safety isolating transformer according to IEC/DIN EN61558-2-23 with an input power of at least 2,500

VA for only one single consumer.
NOTES
Observe the respective national safety regulations!
Extension cable
The machine may only be operated with undamaged and tested extension cables!
Only use extension cables with grounded conductor and correct connection of the grounded conductor
to the plug and coupling (only for machines of class rating I, see chapter Technical data).
Only use tested extension cables which are suitable for use at construction sites: Wacker Neuson
recommends H07RN-F, H07BQ-F, an SOOW cable, or a country-specific equivalent design.
Immediately replace damaged extension cables (e.g. tears in the sheathing) or loose plugs and
couplings.
Cable drums and multiple plug receptacles must fulfill the same requirements as the extension cable.
Protect extension cables, multiple plug receptacles, cable drums and connection couplings against rain,
snow or any other forms of moisture.
Uncoil the cable drum completely
Danger of fire due to wound cable drum.
Uncoil the cable drum completely before operation.
