EN 50144 and can be used to compare devices.
Different uses of the device give rise to different
vibration levels and in many cases they may exceed
the values given in these instructions. It is easy to
underestimate the vibration load if the electrical pow-
er tool is used regularly in particular circumstances.
Note: If you wish to make an accurate assessment
of the vibration loads experienced during a particular
period of working, you should also take into account
the intervening periods of time when the device is
switched off or is running but is not actually in use.
This can result in a much lower vibration load over
the whole of the period of working.

advice and instructions! Failure to
observe the safety advice and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and / or serious injury.
Keep all the safety advice and instructions
in a safe place for future reference!
The term "electrical tool" used in the safety advice
refers to electrical tools powered by mains electrici-
ty (by means of a mains lead) and electrical tools
powered by rechargeable batteries (without a
mains lead).

Workplace safety

a) Keep your working area clean and
well lit. Untidy or poorly lit working areas
can lead to accidents.
b) Do not work with the device in poten-
tially explosive environments in which
there are inflammable liquids, gases
or dusts. Electrical power tools create sparks,
which can ignite dusts or fumes.
c) Keep children and other people away
while you are operating the electrical
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose con-
trol of the device.

Electrical safety

a) The mains plug on the device must match
the mains socket. The plug must not
be modified in any way. Do not use
an adapter plug with devices fitted
with a protective earth. Unmodified
plugs and matching sockets reduce the risk of
electric shock.
b) Avoid touching earthed surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ovens and refrig-
erators with any part of your body.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed.
c) Keep the device away from rain or
moisture. Water entering an electrical device
increases the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not use the mains lead for any pur-
pose for which it was not intended,
e.g. to carry the device, to hang up
the device or to pull the mains plug out
of the mains socket. Keep the mains
lead away from heat, oil, sharp edg-
es or moving parts of the device. Dam-
aged or tangled mains leads increase the risk
of electric shock.
e) When working outdoors with an
electrical power tool always use ex-
tension cables that are also approved
for use outdoors. The use of an extension
cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk
of electric shock.
f) Use a residual current device (RCD)
for protection if operating the electri-
cal power tool in a moist environment
is unavoidable. The use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.

3. Personal safety

a) Remain alert at all times, watch what
you are doing and always proceed
with caution. Do not use the device if
you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. One moment
of carelessness when using the device can lead
to serious injury.
