Uncertainty K
The sound intensity level for the operator may exceed 85dB(A)
and sound protection measures are necessary.
WARNING: Always wear ear protection where the sound level
exceeds 85dB(A) and limit the time of exposure if necessary. If sound
levels are uncomfortable, even with ear protection, stop using the
tool immediately and check the ear protection is correctly fitted and
provides the correct level of sound attenuation for the level of sound
produced by your tool.
WARNING: User exposure to tool vibration can result in loss of
sense of touch, numbness, tingling and reduced ability to grip. Long
term exposure can lead to a chronic condition. If necessary, limit the
length of time exposed to vibration and use anti-vibration gloves.
Do not operate the tool with hands below a normal comfortable
temperature, as vibration will have a greater effect. Use the figures
provided in the specification relating to vibration to calculate the
duration and frequency of operating the tool.
WARNING: The vibration emission during actual use of the
power tool can differ from the declared total value depending on the
ways in which the tool is used. There is the need to identify safety
measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation of
exposure in the actual conditions of use (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).
The declared vibration total value has been measured in accordance
with a standard test method and may be used for comparing one
tool with another. The declared vibration total value may also be used
in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
Sound levels in the specification are determined according to
international standards.
The figures represent normal use for the tool in normal working
conditions. A poorly maintained, incorrectly assembled, or misused
tool may produce increased levels of noise and vibration. www.osha.
europa.eu provides information on sound and vibration levels in the
workplace that may be useful to domestic users who use tools for
long periods of time.
General Safety

operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
3dB(A)
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1 Keep work area clear - Cluttered areas and benches invite
injuries
2 Consider work area environment
- Do not expose tools to rain
- Do not use tools in damp or wet locations
- Keep work area well lit
- Do not use tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases
3 Guard against electric shock - Avoid body contact with
earthed or grounded surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiators, ranges,
refrigerators)
4 Keep other persons away - Do not let persons, especially
children, not involved in the work touch the tool or the
extension cord and keep them away from the work area
5 Store idle tools - When not in use, tools should be stored in a
dry locked-up place, out of reach of children
6 Do not force the tool - It will perform the job better and safer
at the rate for which it was intended
7 Use the right tool - Do not force small tools to do the job of a
heavy duty tool
Do not use tools for purposes not intended; for example do not use
circular saws to cut tree limbs or logs
8 Dress appropriately
- Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, which can be caught
in moving parts
- Suitable safety footwear is recommended when working
outdoors
- Wear protective covering to contain long hair
9 Use protective equipment
- Use safety glasses
- Use face or dust mask if working operations create dust
WARNING: Not using protective equipment or appropriate
clothing can cause personal injury or increase the severity of an
injury.
10 Connect dust extraction equipment - If the tool is provided
for the connection of dust extraction and collecting equipment,
ensure these are connected and properly used
11 Do not abuse the power cable - Never yank the power cable
to disconnect it from the socket. Keep the power cable away
from heat, oil and sharp edges. Damaged or entangled power
cables increase the risk of electric shock
12 Secure work - Where possible use clamps or a vice to hold the
work. It is safer than using your hand
13 Do not overreach - Keep proper footing and balance at all
times
14 Maintain tools with care
- Keeping cutting tools sharp and clean makes the tool easier
to control and less likely to bind or lock in the workpiece
- Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories
- Inspect tool power cables periodically and if damaged have
them repaired by an authorized service facility
