CAUTION:
requirements in EN61000-3-11 and is a
subject for conditional connection to the
power mains. Speak with the supply
authority for instructions on how to connect
the product.
WARNING:
with RCD (residual-current device). An RCD
decreases the risk of electrical shock.
• Make sure that the power, fuse and mains voltage
are the same as the voltage shown on the rating
plate of the product.
• Always stop the product before you disconnect the
power plug.
• Do not use the product if the cord or plug is
damaged. Hand it in to an approved service center
for repair. A damaged cable can cause serious injury
and death.
• Use the cord correctly. Do not use the cord to move,
pull or disconnect the product. Hold the plug to
disconnect the power cord.
• Do not operate the product in water depths where
the equipment of the product gets wet. The
equipment can be damaged and the product can
become live and cause injury.
• Do not get more moisture into the product. Prevent
rain to come in touch with the product. Water that
enters a power tool increases the risk of electrical
shock.
• Always have the power cord disconnected when you
connect or disconnect the connection for the motor
cable and the electrical enclosure.
• Make sure that the power supply from the product is
sufficient and constant to make sure that the motor
operates correctly.
• Use correct voltage. Incorrect voltage causes power
consumption and increases the temperature of the
motor. This will release the safety circuit.
• Make sure that the dimension of the power cord
agrees with national and local regulations.
• Make sure that the dimension of the mains socket
agrees with the amperage for the electrical socket
and the extension cable of the product. If the power
mains has higher system resistence, a short voltage
drop can occur when you start the product. This can
affect the operation of other products.

Grounded product instructions
WARNING:
result in electrical shock. Speak to an
approved electrician if you are not sure if
your mains outlet is correctly grounded.
Do not do modifications to the power plug
from its factory specification. If the power
plug or power cord is damaged or must be
replaced, speak to your Husqvarna service
agent. Obey local regulations and laws.
If you do not fully understand the
instructions about the grounded product,
speak to an approved electrician.
Use only grounded outdoor extension cables with
grounding plugs and grounding outlet that accepts the
product power plug.
The product has a grounded power cord and power
plug. Always connect the product to a grounded mains
outlet. This decreases the risk of electrical shock.
Do not use electrical adapters with the product.
Extension cables
• Use only approved extension cables with sufficient
length.
• The rated value on the extension cable must be the
same or higher than given on the rating plate of the
product.
• Use grounded extension cables.
• When you operate the product outdoors, use
an extension cable that is applicable for outdoor
operation. This decreases the risk of electrical
shock.
• Keep the connection to the extension cable dry and
off the ground.
• Keep the extension cable away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. A damaged cable increases
the risk of electrical shock.
• Make sure that the extension cable is in good
condition and not damaged.
• Do not use the extension cable while it is wound up.
This can cause the extension cable to become too
hot.
• Make sure that the extension cable is behind you
and the product when you use the product. This
prevents damage to the extension cable.
