The machine is protectively insulated in accordance with classification II of VDE 0740 and can therefore be connected to sockets without earth connections. Before using the machine ensure that the mains current agrees with the operating voltage data on the machine's identification plate. Power Circuit Breaker: Machines which will be used in different outside locations must be connected to a Power Circuit Breaker. 3) Only use cables (extension flex) that are approved for outdoor use. For strain relief, stick a loop of the extension flex through the opening in the handle and put it onto the strain relief hook.
