DI-switch (In-line Protector PRCD)
(Fig. 1)
D21582
The machine is equipped with a portable residual
current device (PRCD) (Z), which protects the user
against electric shock by interrupting the circuit
when a leakage current of 10 mA or greater is
detected. For 115 V units the rated leakage current
is 6 mA.
WARNING: Never operate the machine
without the PRCD in place. Do not
use the machine if the PRCD does not
function properly. For the PRCD to work,
the machine must be connected to an
earthed wall socket.
TO SWITCH ON THE RCD
I = ON (red LED lights up).
Switch on the machine (also refer to the section
Switching On and Off).
To switch off, proceed in reverse order.
TO TEST THE RCD
O = Test button: the switch must break the circuit
(machine switches off).
WARNING:
• If in the test mode the switch does not
break the circuit, we recommend that
the unit is inspected by an authorized
D WALT repair agent.
e
• It is not permitted to make any
modifications to the machine, in
particular it is not allowed to open
the PRCD or to repair or replace the
cable.
• Never use the PRCD as a main switch.
Always switch the PRCD under no load
condition.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury, turn unit off and disconnect
machine from power source before
installing and removing accessories,
before adjusting or changing set-
ups or when making repairs. Be sure
the trigger switch is in the OFF position.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.
