ME 545, ME 545 C, ME 545 V - Castorama

Electrical connection
Power supply and operating
voltage must correspond (see
identification plate).
The mains supply voltage
must correspond to the
specified rated voltage of the
appliance.
The power supply cord must
be adequately protected by
fuse (see section “Technical
specifications”).
Only connection cords which
are no lighter than rubber
sheathed cables H07 RN-F
DIN/VDE 0282 and have a
minimum cross section of 3 x
1.5 mm 2 for cable lengths up
to 25 m and 3 x 2.5 mm 2 for
cable lengths up to 50 m
must be used.
The connectors of the
connection cord must be
made of rubber or have a
rubber cover and conform to
the standard DIN/VDE 0620.
This machine is intended for
operation with a power supply
having a system impedance
of Z max at the transfer point
(house connection) of
maximum 0.47 ohms
(at 50Hz).
The user must ensure that
the machine is only operated
with a power supply which
meets this requirement. If
necessary, this information
can be obtained from the
local electric power company.
Strain relief
11
During mowing work, the
strain relief prevents any
unintentional disconnection of
the connection cord and
resulting possible damage to
the mains connection on the
appliance.
For this reason, the
connection cord must be fed
through the strain relief.
Form a loop with the
10= connection cord and
guide it through the
11= opening.
Pass the loop over the
12= hook and tighten.
