Environmental Protection
Raw material recycling instead of waste disposal
In order to avoid damages on transportation, the power tool has to be
delivered in sturdy packing. The packing as well as the tool and its
accessories are made of recyclable materials and can be disposed
accordingly.
The tool’s plastic components are marked according to their material,
which makes it possible to remove environmental friendly and
differentiated because of available collection facilities.
Only for EU countries
Do not dispose of electric tools together with household
waste material!
In observance of European Directive 2012/19/EU on waste
electrical and electronic equipment and its implementation in
accordance with national law, electric tools that have
reached the end of their life must be collected separately
and returned to an environmentally compatible recycling
facility.
Noise Emission / Vibration
The indication of noise emission is measured according to DIN 45 635, part
21. The level of acoustic pressure on the work place could exceed 85 dB
(A); in this case protection measures must be taken.
Wear ear protectors!
The typical hand-arm vibration is below 2.5 m/s².
Measured values determined according to EN 60 745.

The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of
the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different
accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This
may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into
account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not
actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over
the total working period.
