The vibration level specified in
these instructions was measured in accordance with
an EN 60745 standardised measurement process
and can be used to compare equipment. The vibra-
tion emission value specified can also serve as a
preliminary assessment of the exposure.
The vibration level may change with the application
of the tool and in some cases may be higher than
the value specified in these instructions. Regularly
using the electric tool in such a way may make it
easy to underestimate the vibration.
Note: If you wish to make an accurate assessment
of the vibration loads experienced during a particu-
lar period of work, 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 clearly reduce the vibration load through-
out the work period.
General safety advice on
power tools
Please read all
safety information and instructions.
Failure to observe the safety information
and instructions can result in electric shock, fire
and / or serious injury.
Keep all safety advice and instructions in
a safe place for future reference.
The term “power tool” as used in the safety advice
refers to electrical tools powered by mains electric-
ity (with mains lead) and electrical tools powered
by rechargeable batteries (without mains lead).
1. Workplace safety
a)
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Untidy or poorly lit work areas can lead to ac-
cidents.
b)
Do not use the power tool in potential-
ly explosive environments containing
flammable liquids, gases or dusts. Pow-
er tools create sparks which can ignite dusts or
fumes.
c)
Keep children and other people away
whilst 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 fit
the mains socket. The plug must not
be modified in any way. Never use
adapter plug on earthed power tools.
Unmodified plugs and the correct sockets reduce
the risk of electric shock.
b)
Avoid touching grounded surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ovens, and refrig-
erators. There is a higher risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed.
c)
Keep the device away from rain or
moisture. Water penetrating the electrical
device increases the risk of an electric shock.
d)
Do not use the mains lead for any pur-
pose 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 equipment parts. Damaged
or tangled cables increase the risk of an elec-
tric shock.
e)
When using power tools outdoors al-
ways use extension cords approved
