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 60745; 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 qualifi ed 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.

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 fi rmly and that the two leads are
correctly fi xed at the terminal screws. Never use
a light socket.
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 fi t a plug to BS4343 standard.

If an extension cable is required, use an approved
extension cable suitable for the power input of this machine
(see technical data). The minimum conductor size is
1.5 mm². The cable has to have a rubber jacket and a
