Extension Cord
If an extension cord is required, it must have suffi-
cient cross-section to prevent an excessive drop in
voltage or overheating. An excessive drop in voltage
reduces the output and can lead to failure of the
motor. The table below shows you the correct cord
diameter as a function of the cord length for this
tool.
Use only U.L. and CSA listed extension cords.
Never use two extension cords together. Instead,
use one long one.
L
The lower the AWG number, the stronger the
cord.
WARNING
Unauthorised voltage or frequency!
Risk of accident
X
The mains voltage and the frequency of the pow-
er source must correspond with the specifica-
tions on the machine's name plate.
X
In North America, only Festool machines with
the voltage specifications 120 V/60 Hz may be
used.
