5 Power connection
Connect only to the single-phase alternating current indicated on the rating plate. Connect only
to sockets with protective contacts. The machine must be operated only through a ground fault
circuit with max. 30 mA rated leakage current.
Connection: Insert the device into an electrical socket and press the green "RESET" button.
Once the red function display has lit up, the device is ready to operate. Whenever it is unplugged,
or the power fails, the device automatically shuts off.
Operational test: Press the blue "TEST" button: The device shuts off. Press the "RESET" button:
Once the red operation display has lit up, the device is ready to operate.

Please keep in mind that this device cannot replace fundamental safety precautions. To prevent
life-threatening hazards, be sure to use electrical devices only as intended.
Reliable personal protection against electric shock. Fault currents are recognized in a fraction of
a second, and the current supply is immediately interrupted. The risk to humans and animals is
drastically reduced.
- Never use the electric tool without a PRCD.
- The plug or electrical cord should be replaced only by the manufacturer of the electric tool or
by its repair service.
- Keep water away from electrical parts of the electric tool and from people in the work area.
5.1 Putting the PRCD switch into operation

6 Function of the unit
6.1 Use standard spirals
The possible spiral diameters and spiral lengths that may be used are set out in the section
entitled Technical data.
The spirals can be connected together at the coupling and subdivided again afterwards into
segments using a separating pin; to do this insert the release wrench into the bore hole in the
coupling and remove the coupling to the side.
Only use spiral sections for as long as is actually necessary!
Do not use deformed spirals!
1
Remove the spirals from the interior of the holding cage.
2 Push the spiral through the machine.
3 Attach the protective hose from the rear onto the machine and check the lock of the locking
bolt.
