Power supply and start-up
WARNING
Unauthorised voltage or frequency!
Risk of accident
The mains voltage and the frequency of the pow-
er source must correspond with the specifica-

supply and as ON-/OFF-switch of a power tool build
into the CMS-GE.
Insert the plug into an earthed socket.
Plug the electric power tool installed in the
CMS-GE into the connector .
You can now use the switch/connector unit to
