2.12 Using extension cords outdoors
When working outdoors, use only extension cords that are approved and correspondingly marked for this
application.
2.13 Using a generator or transformer
This power tool may be powered by a generator or transformer when the following conditions are fulfilled:
The unit must provide a power output in watts of at least twice the value printed on the type identification
plate on the power tool. The operating voltage must remain within +5% and -15% of the rated voltage at all
times, frequency must be in the 50 – 60 Hz range and never above 65 Hz, and the unit must be equipped with
automatic voltage regulation and starting boost.
Never operate other power tools or appliances from the generator or transformer at the same time. Switching
other power tools or appliances on and off may cause undervoltage and / or overvoltage peaks, resulting in
