Additional residual risks may arise when using the tool which

tool for prolonged periods ensure you take regularbreaks.

• Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when
using your tool (example: working with wood, especially oak,
beech and MDF.)
Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only.
Always check that the battery pack voltage corresponds to the
voltage on the rating plate. Also make sure that the voltage of
your charger corresponds to that of yourmains.
Your STANLEYFATMAX charger is double insulated
in accordance with EN60335; therefore no earth wire
isrequired.

via a fail-safe isolating transformer with an earth screen
between the primary and secondary winding.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a specially
prepared cord available through the STANLEYFATMAX
