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.
Labels on tools
The following pictograms are shown on the tool:
Warning! To reduce the risk of injury, the user must
read the instruction manual.
Wear safety glasses or goggles and ear protection
when operating this tool
Wear gloves when operating this tool.
Immediately disconnect the cable from the mains
if it is damaged or cut.
Do not expose the tool to rain or high humidity.
Electrical safety
This tool is double insulated; therefore no earth wire
is required. Always check that the power supply
corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the

manufacturer or an authorised Black & Decker Service
Centre in order to avoid a hazard
Electric safety can be further improved by using a high-

sensitivity 30 mA residual current device (RCD).
Using an extension cable
Always use an approved extension cable suitable for the
power input of this tool (see technical data). The extension
6
cable must be suitable for outdoor use and marked
accordingly. Up to 30 m of 1.5 mm
cable can be used without loss of product performance.
Before use, inspect the extension cable for signs of damage,
wear and ageing. Replace the extension cable if damaged or
defective. When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable
completely.
