The noise and vibration levels have been calculated according to the norms stated in the conformity statement.
The specified total vibration value and the stated noise emission value have been measured according to a standardised test method and can be used to compare one power tool with another.
The specified total vibration value and the stated specified noise emission value can also be used for a provisional assessment of the load.

The vibration and noise emissions may deviate from the specified values during actual use of the power tool, depending on how the power tool is being used and, in particular, what kind of work-piece is being worked on. Safety measures for the protection of the operator are to be determined that are based on an estimate of the actual vibration load under the real operating conditions (for this, all parts of the operating cycle are to be taken into account, for example, times in which the power tool is turned off, and those during which it is turned on but running without a load).

General safety instructions for power tools

Read all safety notices, instructions, illustrations and technical data that have been provided with this power tool. Failure to comply with the following instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injuries.
Retain all safety directions and instructions for future use.
The term "Power Tools" used in the safety instructions refers to mains-operated power tools (with power cord) and to battery-operated power tools (without power cord).

1. WORK AREA SAFETY
   1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
   2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable Iiquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
   3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
   1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
   2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
   3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
   4. Do not abuse the cord. never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
   5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
   6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. PERSONAL SAFETY
   1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention white operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
   2. Use personal protective equip-ment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
   3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
   4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
   5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This applies especially when working on slopes. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
   6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
   7. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
   8. Do not allow yourself to be lulled into a false feeling of security and do not disregard the safety rules for power tools, even if you are familiar with the power tool after using it many times. Careless action can lead to serious injuries within a fraction of a second.
4. POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
   1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
   2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
   3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentaIly.
   4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
   5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
   6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less Iikely to bind and are easier to control.
   7. Use the power tool, accessories etc. in accordance with these operating instructions. Take into account the working conditions and the work to be carried out.
      Using the power tool for anything other than its intended use can lead to dangerous situations.
   8. Keep handles and grip surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grip surfaces do not permit safe operation and control over the power tool in unexpected situations.
5. USE AND TREATMENT OF THE BATTERY-POWERED TOOL
   1. Only recharge batteries using chargers recommended by the manufacturer. If a charger that has been designed for a particular type of battery is used to charge other batteries, there is a risk of fire.
   2. Only use the battery that is intended in an electric tool. The use of other batteries may create a fire hazard and lead to injury.
   3. When not in use, keep batteries away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that could cause the contacts to be bridged.
      A short circuit between battery contacts can result in burns or a fire.
   4. When misused, fluid may leak from the battery. Avoid any contact with it. On accidental contact, wash in running water. If the fluid comes into contact with the eyes, also seek medical assistance. Leaking battery fluid can cause skin irritation or burns.
   5. Do not use damaged or altered batteries. Damaged or altered batteries can be unpredictable and lead to fire, explosion or risk of injury.
   6. Do not expose batteries to fire or elevated temperatures. Fire or temperatures over 130°C can cause an explosion.
   7. Follow all instructions for charging, and never charge the battery or the battery-powered tool outside the temperature range stated in the instruction manual. Incorrect charging or charging outside the permitted temperature range may destroy the battery and increase the risk of fire.
