3 ENGLISHWARNING: Wear ear protection.WARNING: The noise emission during actualuse of the power tool can differ from the declaredvalue(s) depending on the ways in which thetool is used especially what kind of workpiece isprocessed.WARNING: Be sure to identify safety mea-sures to protect the operator that are based on anestimation of exposure in the actual conditions ofuse (taking account of all parts of the operatingcycle such as the times when the tool is switchedoff and when it is running idle in addition to thetrigger time).VibrationThe vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) deter-mined according to EN62841-3-9:Vibration emission (a h) : 3.0 m/s2Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s2NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) has beenmeasured in accordance with a standard test methodand may be used for comparing one tool with another.NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) may alsobe used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.WARNING: The vibration emission duringactual use of the power tool can differ from thedeclared value(s) depending on the ways in whichthe tool is used especially what kind of workpieceis processed.WARNING: Be sure to identify safety mea-sures to protect the operator that are based on anestimation of exposure in the actual conditions ofuse (taking account of all parts of the operatingcycle such as the times when the tool is switchedoff and when it is running idle in addition to thetrigger time).SAFETY WARNINGSGeneral power tool safety warningsWARNING: Read all safety warnings, instruc-tions, illustrations and specifications providedwith this power tool. Failure to follow all instructionslisted below may result in electric shock, fire and/orserious injury.Save all warnings and instruc-tions for future reference.The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to yourmains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated(cordless) power tool.Work area safety1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered ordark areas invite accidents.2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-spheres, such as in the presence of flammableliquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparkswhich may ignite the dust or fumes.3. Keep children and bystanders away whileoperating a power tool. Distractions can causeyou to lose control.Electrical Safety1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Nevermodify the plug in any way. Do not use anyadapter plugs with earthed (grounded) powertools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets willreduce risk of electric shock.2. Avoid body contact with earthed or groundedsurfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges andrefrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-ditions. Water entering a power tool will increasethe risk of electric shock.4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord forcarrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edgesor moving parts. Damaged or entangled cordsincrease the risk of electric shock.5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use anextension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use ofa cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk ofelectric shock.6. If operating a power tool in a damp locationis unavoidable, use a residual current device(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reducesthe risk of electric shock.7. Use of power supply via an RCD with a ratedresidual current of 30 mA or less is alwaysrecommended.8. Power tools can produce electromagneticfields (EMF) that are not harmful to the user.However, users of pacemakers and other similarmedical devices should contact the maker of theirdevice and/or doctor for advice before operatingthis power tool.9. Do not touch the power plug with wet hands.10. If the cord is damaged, have it replaced by themanufacturer or his agent in order to avoid asafety hazard.Personal Safety1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and usecommon sense when operating a power tool.Do not use a power tool while you are tired orunder the influence of drugs, alcohol or med-ication. A moment of inattention while operatingpower tools may result in serious personal injury.2. Use personal protective equipment. Alwayswear eye protection. Protective equipment suchas a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat orhearing protection used for appropriate conditionswill reduce personal injuries.3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure theswitch is in the off-position before connectingto power source and/or battery pack, pickingup or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools withyour finger on the switch or energising power toolsthat have the switch on invites accidents.
