Using extension cords outdoors
When working outdoors, use only extension cords that are approved and correspondingly marked for this
application.

Using a generator or transformer
This appliance may be powered by a generator or transformer when the following conditions are fulfilled:
The unit must provide a power output in watts of at least twice the maximum value printed on the type
identification plate on the power tool or appliance. The operating voltage must remain within +5% and -15%
of the rated voltage at all times, frequency must be in the 50 – 60 Hz range and never above 65 Hz, and the
unit must be equipped with automatic voltage regulation and starting boost.
Never operate other power tools or appliances from the generator or transformer at the same time. Switching
other power tools or appliances on and off may cause undervoltage and / or overvoltage peaks, resulting in
damage to the power tool.
