Noise/Vibration Information
Sound emission values determined according to
EN 60745-2-8.
Typically the A-weighted sound pressure level of the product
is 80 dB(A). Uncertainty K=3 dB.
The noise level when working can exceed 80 dB(A).

The vibration level given in this information sheet has been
measured in accordance with a standardised test given in
EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with anoth-
er. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main ap-
plications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different
applications, with different accessories or insertion tools or is
poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This
3 609 929 C99 | (23.5.14)
may significantly increase the exposure level over the total
working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also
take into account the times when the tool is switched off or
when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may sig-
nificantly reduce the exposure level over the total working
period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator
from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the
accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work pat-
terns.

/II plug.
Auxiliary Handle (see figure A)
Unscrew the screw 3 out of the auxiliary handle 2 until the
auxiliary handle fits into the auxiliary-handle mount 4.
Slide the auxiliary handle 2 into the auxiliary-handle mount 4.
Tighten the auxiliary handle by turning in clockwise direction.
Operation
Starting Operation
 Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow-
er source must agree with the voltage specified on the
nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with
230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Switching On and Off
To start the machine, push the On/Off switch 1 forward so
that the "I" is indicated on the switch.
To switch off the machine, push the On/Off switch 1 toward
the rear so that the "0" is indicated on the switch.
To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it.
