Service and power-ON indicator LEDs
(fig. B)
The red service indicator LED (3) lights up when
the carbon brushes are nearly worn out to
indicate that the tool needs servicing. After
approx. 8 hours of use the motor will
automatically be shut off.
The carbon brushes are not user-serviceable.
Take the tool to an authorized BERNER repair agent.
Electrical safety
The electric motor has been designed for one
voltage only. Always check that the power supply
corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Your BERNER tool is double insulated in
accordance with EN 50144; therefore no
earth wire is required.
Mains plug replacement
(U.K. & Ireland only)
• Should your mains plug need replacing and you
are competent to do this, proceed as instructed
below. If you are in doubt, contact an authorized
BERNER repair agent or a qualified electrician.
• Disconnect the plug from the supply.
• Cut off the plug and dispose of it safely; a plug
with bared copper conductors is dangerous if
engaged in a live socket outlet.
• Only fit 13 Amperes BS1363A approved plugs
fitted with the correctly rated fuse (1).
• The cable wire colours, or a letter, will be marked
at the connection points of most good quality
plugs. Attach the wires to their respective points
in the plug (see below). Brown is for Live (L) (2)
and Blue is for Neutral (N) (4).
• Before replacing the top cover of the mains plug
ensure that the cable restraint (3) is holding the
outer sheath of the cable firmly and that the
two leads are correctly fixed at the terminal
screws.
Never use a light socket.
Never connect the live (L) or neutral (N)
wires to the earth pin marked E or
For 115 V units with a power rating exceeding 1500
W, we recommend to fit a plug to BS4343 standard.
Using an extension cable
If an extension cable is required, use an approved
extension cable suitable for the power input of this
tool (see technical data). The minimum conductor
2
size is 1.5 mm
.
When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable
completely.
