Uncertainty K
The sound intensity level for the operator may exceed 85dB(A) and sound protection measures are necessary.
WARNING: Always wear ear protection where the sound level exceeds 85dB(A) and limit the time of exposure
if necessary. If sound levels are uncomfortable, even with ear protection, stop using the tool immediately and
check the ear protection is correctly fitted and provides the correct level of sound attenuation for the level of
sound produced by your tool.
WARNING: User exposure to tool vibration can result in loss of sense of touch, numbness, tingling and
reduced ability to grip. Long-term exposure can lead to a chronic condition. If necessary, limit the length of
time exposed to vibration and use anti-vibration gloves. Do not operate the tool with hands below a normal
comfortable temperature, as vibration will have a greater effect. Use the figures provided in the specification
relating to vibration to calculate the duration and frequency of operating the tool.
Sound and vibration levels in the specification are determined according to EN60745 or similar
international standards. The figures represent normal use for the tool in normal working conditions. A poorly
maintained, incorrectly assembled, or misused tool, may produce increased levels of noise and vibration.
www.osha.europa.eu provides information on sound and vibration levels in the workplace that may be useful
to domestic users who use tools for long periods of time.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING! When using electric power tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce
the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury including the following safety information. Read all these
instructions before attempting to operate this product and save these instructions for future use.

mental capabilities or lack of experience or knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children must be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
CAUTION: Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
1 - Keep work area clear - Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries
2 - Consider work area environment
- Do not expose tools to rain
- Do not use tools in damp or wet locations
- Keep work area well lit
- Do not use tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases
3 - Guard against electric shock - Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces (e.g. pipes,
radiators, ranges, refrigerators)
4 - Keep other persons away - Do not let persons, especially children, not involved in the work touch the
tool or the extension cord and keep them away from the work area
5 - Store idle tools - When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry locked-up place, out of reach of
children
6 - Do not force the tool - It will perform the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended
7 - Use the right tool - Do not force small tools to do the job of a heavy duty tool
- Do not use tools for purposes not intended; for example do not use circular saws to cut tree limbs or
logs
8 - Dress appropriately

9 - Use protective equipment
- Use safety glasses
- Use face or dust mask if working operations create dust
WARNING: Not using protective equipment or appropriate clothing can cause personal injury or increase the
severity of an injury.
10 - Connect dust extraction equipment - If the tool is provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collecting equipment, ensure these are connected and properly used
11 - Do not abuse the power cable - Never yank the power cable to disconnect it from the socket. Keep
the power cable away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Damaged or entangled power cables increase the
risk of electric shock
12 - Secure work - Where possible use clamps or a vice to hold the work. It is safer than using your hand
13 - Do not overreach - Keep proper footing and balance at all times
14 - Maintain tools with care
- Keep cutting tools sharp and clean makes the tool easier to control and less likely to bind or lock in the
workpiece
- Follow instruction for lubricating and changing accessories
- Inspect tool power cables periodically and if damaged have them repaired by an authorized service
facility
- Inspect extension cables periodically and replace if damaged
- Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease
WARNING: Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
15 - Disconnect tools - When not in use, before servicing and when changing accessories such as blades,
bits and cutters, disconnect tools from the power supply
WARNING: The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may result in a risk
of injury to persons.
16 - Remove adjusting keys and wrenches - Form the habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from the tool before switching it on
17 - Avoid unintentional starting - Ensure switch is in "off' position when connecting to a mains socket or
inserting a battery pack, or when picking up or carrying the tool
WARNING: Unintended starting of a tool can cause major injuries.
18 - Use outdoor extension leads - When the tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords intended for
outdoor use and so marked. Use of an extension cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock
19 - Stay alert
- Watch what you are doing, use common sense and do not operate the tool when you are tired
- Do not use a power tool while you are under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication
WARNING: A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
20 - Check damaged parts
- Before further use of tool, it should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function
- Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any
other conditions that may affect its operation
- A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service
centre unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual
- Have defective switches replaced by an authorized service centre
WARNING: Do not use the tool if the on/off switch does not turn it on and off. The switch must be repaired
before the tool is used.
21 - Have your tool repaired by a qualified person - This electric tool complies with the relevant safety
rules. Repairs should only be carried out by qualified persons, otherwise this may result in considerable
danger to the user
WARNING: When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
WARNING: If the power cable is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an authorised service
centre.
22 - Power tool mains plugs must match the mains socket - Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching sockets will
reduce risk of electric shock
23 - If operating a power tool outside use a residual current device (RCD) - Use of an RCD reduces the
risk of electric shock
