It may beused for a preliminary assessment of exposure.WARNING: The declared vibrationemission level represents the mainapplications of the tool. However if thetool is used for different applications,with different accessories or poorlymaintained, the vibration emission maydiffer. This may significantly increase theexposure level over the total workingperiod.An estimation of the level of exposure tovibration should also take into accountthe times when the tool is switched offor when it is running but not actuallydoing the job. This may significantlyreduce the exposure level over the totalworking period.Identify additional safety measures toprotect the operator from the effects ofvibration such as: maintain the tool andthe accessories, keep the hands warm,organisation of work patterns.FusesEurope 230 V tools 10 Amperes, mainsU.K. & Ireland 230 V tools 13 Amperes, in plugsDefinitions: Safety GuidelinesThe definitions below describe the level of severityfor each signal word.

Read all safety warningsand all instructions. Failure to followthe warnings and instructions may resultin electric shock, fire and/or seriousinjury.SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONSFOR FUTURE REFERENCEThe term “power tool” in the warnings refers toyour mains-operated (corded) power tool orbattery-operated (cordless) power tool.1) WORK AREA SAFETYa) Keep work area clean and well lit.Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.b) Do not operate power tools in explosiveatmospheres, such as in the presence offlammable liquids, gases or dust. Powertools create sparks which may ignite the dustor fumes.c) Keep children and bystanders away whileoperating a power tool. Distractions cancause you to lose control.2) ELECTRICAL SAFETYa) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.Never modify the plug in any way. Donot use any adapter plugs with earthed(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugsand matching outlets will reduce risk ofelectric shock.b) Avoid body contact with earthed orgrounded surfaces such as pipes,radiators, ranges and refrigerators. Thereis an increased risk of electric shock if yourbody is earthed or grounded.c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wetconditions. Water entering a power tool willincrease the risk of electric shock.d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use thecord for carrying, pulling or unpluggingthe power tool. Keep cord away fromheat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.Damaged or entangled cords increase therisk of electric shock.e) When operating a power tool outdoors,use an extension cord suitable for outdooruse. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor usereduces the risk of electric shock.f) If operating a power tool in a damplocation is unavoidable, use a residualcurrent device (RCD) protected supply.Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electricshock.3) PERSONAL SAFETYa) Stay alert, watch what you are doing anduse common sense when operating apower tool. Do not use a power tool whileyou are tired or under the influence ofdrugs, alcohol or medication. A moment ofinattention while operating power tools mayresult in serious personal injury.b) Use personal protective equipment.Always wear eye protection. Protectiveequipment such as dust mask, non-skidsafety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protectionused for appropriate conditions will reducepersonal injuries.c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensurethe switch is in the off position beforeconnecting to power source and/orbattery pack, picking up or carrying thetool. Carrying power tools with your fingeron the switch or energising power tools thathave the switch on invites accidents.33
