11 POWER SUPPLY The tool can be powered: • from the mains using an external power adapter; • by internal batteries. The presence of power supply is indicated in the display through a specific icon. 11.1 Power supply from the Mains It is possible to power the tool by connecting it to the mains via a specific power adapter provided with the tool.
Page 25
Proceed as follows: 1. Insert the plug in the specific housing on the power adapter. 2. Connect the jack connector on the power adapter [1] to the connector for powering the tool [2]. 3. Connect the plug on the power adapter [3] to the mains socket [4].
11.2 Power supply from battery The tool is powered by an internal rechargeable battery. The battery power supply allows powering the tool without the use of cables, making it therefore easy to move the tool from one work area to another. The battery power supply allows continuous use of the tool for approximately 5 hours.
11.2.1 Battery recharge It is possible to charge the tool by connecting it directly to the mains via a specific external power adapter. The tool is able to work normally while being recharged. The battery can be charged with the tool switched on or off. The charge status is indicated by a specific icon.
12 POWER ON/OFF The tool's activation and deactivation is commanded pressing the ON/OFF button. The button is back lit by a green LED through which the tool provides indications on its status. Button Tool status Notes The tool is operational. Short period of inactivity.
