Vibration
The declared vibration emission values stated in the technical
data and the declaration of conformity have been measured
in accordance with a standard test method provided by EN
60745 and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
The declared vibration emission value may also be used in a
preliminary assessment of exposure.
Warning! The vibration emission value during actual use of
the power tool can differ from the declared value depending
on the ways in which the tool is used. The vibration level may
increase above the level stated.
When assessing vibration exposure to determine safety
measures required by 2002/44/EC to protect persons regularly
using power tools in employment, an estimation of vibration
exposure should consider, the actual conditions of use and the
way the tool is used, including taking account of all parts of the
operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off
and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time.
Pruning
Before attempting to prune a tree, ensure there are not bylaws
or regulations that would prohibit or control the felling of
the tree.
Be aware of the direction a branch may fall. Consider all
u
conditions that may affect the direction of fall, including:
the length and weight of the branch to be cut
u
the intended direction of fall
u
any unusual heavy limb structure or decay
u
the presence of surrounding trees and obstacles,
u
including overhead lines
u
the intertwinement with other branches
u
the speed and direction of the wind
u
Consider access to the tree limb.
u
Tree branches are liable to swing towards the tree trunk. In
addition to the user, any bystander, building or object below
the branch is at risk of being struck by the branch.
Labels on tool
The following symbols are shown on the tool along with the
