7.3 Electrical connection
Fig. 14: Overcurrent protection
Use the planer only in a dry environment. Use the planer
only on an electrical supply that meets the following re-
quirements.
- Fuse protection with a sufficiently dimensioned resi-
dual current circuit breaker (FI circuit breaker).
- Only use a socket outlet with earthing contact (pro-
perly earthed socket outlet).
- Route the power cord so that it does not interfere
with work and cannot be damaged.
- Protect the power cord from heat, aggressive li-
quids, and sharp edges.
- To avoid electrical hazards, fire, or damage to the
tool, use appropriate circuit protection.
- Use a separate circuit for your tools.
- To avoid electric shock or fire, the power cord must
be replaced immediately if it is worn or damaged in
any way.
- Make sure that the electrical current meets the re-
quirements of the nameplate on the machine.
Check motor direction of rotation
After the electrical connection, check that the direction
of rotation of the spindle corresponds to the direction in-
dicated on the plate. If the direction of rotation is incor-
rect, the connections of the phase lines L1 and L2 must
be replaced.
IN THE EVENT OF MALFUNCTION OR INTERRUPTION,
grounding provides a path of least resistance to electri-
cal current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This
tool is equipped with a power cable that has a ground
wire and ground plug. The plug MUST be plugged into
a suitable outlet that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with ALL local regulations.
DO NOT CHANGE THE CONNECTOR. Have the correct
socket installed by a qualified electrician if it does not fit
into the socket.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The con-
ductor with green insulation (with or without yellow stri-
pes) is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary,
DO NOT connect the equipment-grounding conductor
to a live terminal.
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service person if
you do not completely understand the grounding in-
structions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly
grounded.
DANGER!
Risk of death due to electric shock!
Contact with live components may result in fatal
injury.
Switched-on electrical components can make
uncontrolled movements and lead to serious injuries.
All work on the electrical installation may only be car-
ried out by a qualified electrician.
ATTENTION!
There is an overcurrent protection device in the circuit.

Guidelines for extension cords
- Make sure
that the
extension cord is in good condi-
tion.
- When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw.
- An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage, resulting in loss of power and cause over-
heating.
- Make sure that the extension cord is properly wired
and in good condition.
- Always replace a damaged extension cord or
have it repaired by a qualified person before using
it.
- Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
