The vibration and/or noise emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in
accordance with a standardised test given in EN62841 and may be used to compare one tool
with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment ofexposure.

WARNING: The declared vibration and/or noise emission level represents the main
applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different
accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration and/or noise emission may differ. This may
significantly increase the exposure level over the total workingperiod.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and/or noise should also take
into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not
actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total
workingperiod.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration
and/or noise such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm
(relevant for vibration), organisation of workpatterns.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire and/or seriousinjury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTUREREFERENCE.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) powertool.
1) Work Area Safety
a ) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas inviteaccidents.
b ) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
orfumes.
c ) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to losecontrol.
2) Electrical Safety
a ) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electricshock.
b ) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed orgrounded.
c ) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electricshock.
d ) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electricshock.
e ) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electricshock.
f ) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electricshock.
