Vibration 

The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) determined 
according to EN61029: 

     

Vibration emission (a

h

) : 2.5 m/s

 or less 

Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s

• 

The declared vibration emission value has been 
measured in accordance with the standard test 
method 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 during actual use of the 
power tool can differ from the declared emission 
value depending on the ways in which the tool is 
used. 

• 

Be sure 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).

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

WARNING! When using electric tools, basic safety 
precautions, including the following, should always 
be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock 
and personal injury. Read all these instructions 
before operating this product and save these 
instructions. 

For safe operations: 

1. 

Keep work area clean.

 

Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries. 

2. 

Consider work area environment.

 

Do not expose power tools to rain. Do not use 
power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep work 
area well lit. Do not use power tools where there is 
risk to cause fire or explosion. 

3. 

Guard against electric shock.

 

Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded 
surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiators, ranges, 
refrigerators). 

4. 

Keep children away.

 

Do not let visitors touch the tool or extension cord. 
All visitors should be kept away from work area. 

5. 

Store idle tools.

 

When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry, 
high or locked up place, out of reach of children. 

6. 

Do not force the tool.

 

It will do the job better and safer at the rate for 
which it was intended. 

7. 

Use the right tool.

 

Do not force small tools or attachments 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.
