Electrical safety

The electric motor has been designed for one
voltage only. Always check that the power supply
corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Your D WALT tool is double insulated in
E
accordance with EN 50144; therefore no
earth wire is required.
Using an extension cable
If an extension cable is required, use an approved
extension cable suitable for the power input of this
tool (see technical data). An undersized cable will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating.
When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable
completely.
Also refer to the table below.
