Introduction

Noise and vibration data:
Measured values for noise are determined in accord-
ance with EN 60745. The A-weighted noise level
of the electrical power tool are typically:
Sound pressure level: 78 dB(A)
Sound power level:

89 dB(A)

Uncertainty K:

3 dB

Wear ear protection!

Evaluated acceleration, typical:
Hand / arm vibration a

h

= 6.7 m / s

2

Uncertainty K = 1.5 m / s

The vibration level given in these

instructions has been measured in accordance with
a standardised measurement procedure specified
in EN 60745 and can be used to compare devices.
Different uses of the device give rise to different vibra-
tion levels and in many cases they may exceed the
values given in these instructions. It is easy to under-
estimate the vibration load if the electrical power tool
is used regularly in particular circumstances.

Note: If you wish to make an accurate assessment
of the vibration loads experienced during a particular
period of working, you should also take into account
the intervening periods of time when the device is
switched off or is running but is not actually in use.
This can result in a much lower vibration load over
the whole of the period of working.

General safety advice for

electrical power tools

Read all the safety advice

and instructions! Failure to observe the safety
advice and instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and / or serious injury.

Keep all the safety advice and instructions
in a safe place for future reference!

The term “electrical tool” used in the safety advice
refers to electrical tools powered by mains electricity

(by means of a mains lead) and electrical tools
powered by rechargeable batteries (without a
mains lead).

1.

Workplace safety

a)

Keep your working area clean and
well lit.
Untidy or poorly lit working areas
can lead to accidents.

b)

Do not work with the device
in potentially explosive envi-
ronments in which there are

inflammable liquids, gases or dusts.
Electrical power tools create sparks, which can
ignite dusts or fumes.

c)

Keep children and other people
away while you are operating
the electrical tool.
Distractions

can cause you to lose control of the device.

2.

Electrical safety

a)

The mains plug on the device must match
the mains socket. The plug must not
be modified in any way. Do not use
an adapter plug with devices fitted
with a protective earth.
Unmodified
plugs and matching sockets reduce the risk of
electric shock.

b)

Avoid touching earthed surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ovens and refrig-
erators with any part of your body.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed.

c)

Keep the device away from rain or
moisture.
Water entering an electrical device
increases the risk of electric shock.

d)

Do not use the mains lead for
any purpose for which it was
not intended, e.g. to carry the

device, to hang up the device or to pull
the mains plug out of the mains socket.
Keep the mains lead away from heat,
oil, sharp edges or moving parts of the
device.
Damaged or tangled mains leads
increase the risk of electric shock.
