Refer to the accessory packaging for further details. Store personnel can assist you and offer advice. NOISE DATA A weighted sound pressure L

A weighted sound power L

Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s² The declared vibration total value may be used for comparing one tool with another, and 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 dependant on the following examples and other variations on how the tool is used: The tool being in good condition and well maintained; Using the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp and in good condition; The tightness of the grip on the handles and if any anti vibration accessories are used; And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions. This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately managed.

WARNING: To be accurate, an estimation

of exposure level in the actual conditions of use should also take account of all parts of the11

operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle but not actually doing the job. This may signicantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Helping to minimise your vibration exposure risk. Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated (where appropriate) If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti vibration accessories. Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number of days. ASSEMBLY & OPERATION NOTE: Before using the tool, read the instruction book carefully.
