In view of the weight of approx.
10 kg, there is a danger of the
machine slipping or falling when
attaching or releasing the
weight relief system. Pay atten-
tion also that the machine does
not jam on the trigger snap or
on the hook of the breaking
saw. Work cautiously!
When the breaking saw is not in use, store it so
that there is no risk of accidental contact with
the sharp saw blade.

3.1.2 Electrical connection

The breaking saw is operated with electrical en-
ergy and must be connected to the mains
power supply by a qualified electrician in ac-
cordance with the VDE directives and the regu-
lations of the local public utility.
The breaking saw 230 V is equipped as stand-
ard with a spiral cable and a plug connector.
Insert the 230 V mains plug into a socket.
