WARNING!
The declared vibration total values and the declared noise emission values given in this instruction manual have been measured in
accordance with a standardised test given in EN 62841 and may be used to compare one tool with another. They may be used for a
preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration and noise emission values represent the main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used for dierent
applications, used with dierent accessories, or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may dier. These conditions may
signicantly increase the exposure levels over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should take into account the times when the tool is turned o or when it is
running idle. These conditions may signicantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the eects of vibration and noise, such as maintaining the tool and the
accessories, keeping the hands warm, and organising work patterns.

RESIDUAL RISKS
Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still impossible
to completely eliminate certain residual risk factors. The operator
should pay particular and additional attention to these points in
order to reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
• Injury to hearing – Wear suitable ear protection and limit
exposure.
• Injury to sight – Wear protective eye shields or goggles when
using the product.
• Injury caused by vibration – Hold the tool by the designated
handles and limit exposure to vibration. See “RISK
REDUCTION”.
• Electric shock after contact with hidden wires – Hold the
product only by insulated surfaces.
• Respiratory injury – Dust created by operating the product,
wear suitable protection dependent on type of dust.
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools may
contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome in certain
individuals. Symptoms may include tingling, numbness and
blanching of the ngers, usually apparent upon exposure to cold.
Hereditary factors, exposure to cold and dampness, diet, smoking,
and work practices are all thought to contribute to the development
of these symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the
operator to possibly reduce the eects of vibration:
• Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating the unit
wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists warm. It is reported
that cold weather is a major factor contributing to Raynaud’s
Syndrome.
• After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood
circulation.
• Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of exposure per
day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition,
immediately discontinue use and see your doctor about these
symptoms.
