Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one

WARNING: 120 V units have to
be operated via a fail-safe isolating
transformer with an earth screen
between the primary and secondary
winding.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by a specially prepared cord available through the
D
EWALT service organisation.
