Electrical Safety

The electric motor has been designed for one voltage range only. Always check that
the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. 220–240 V AC
means your tool will operate on alternating current. Operation at a voltage outside this
range can cause loss of power and can result in overheating. All D
factory tested; if this tool does not operate, check the power supply. Your D
tool is double insulated, therefore no earth wire is required.
