Noise and Vibration
Sound and vibration levels in the specification are determined according to
ISO 28927-3. The figures given can be used to compare similar tools tested
to this standard. These figures may be used to assess exposure to noise
and vibration levels.
The figures represent normal use for the tool in normal working condition.
A poorly maintained, incorrectly assembled or misused tool may produce
increased levels of noise and vibration. The total working period that
you can operate this tool must factor in periods where the tool is idle or
switched off. Allow frequent rest breaks when operating this tool.
It is in the interest of users to maximise their safety using the correct safety
equipment, like ear defenders that protect against loud or repetitive noise,
and anti-vibration gloves that minimise vibration. Do not operate the tool
with your hands below a normal comfortable temperature, as vibration will
have a greater effect.
Sound
The noise directive was introduced to protect against the risk to health and
safety arising or likely to arise from exposure to noise and risk of hearing.
The Directive can be used to define noise exposure and the physical
parameters, such as peak sound pressure and daily and weekly exposure
level. Particular attention should be taken to exposure level and duration.
For more information on the Noise Directives 2003/10/EC and 2000/14/EC,
please visit The European Agency for Safety and Health at work -

Vibration
The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive 2002/44/EC was
introduced to control the exposure of vibration at work. The Directive
enables users of tools to make informed decisions on the amount of time
spent working. Those who regularly operate high vibration equipment over a
sustained period of time are at a higher risk of health problems. ISO 28927-
3 measures vibration in three directions which is known as tri-axial or
vector sum measurement. When operating high vibration equipment, ensure
not to exceed exposure levels. For more details on The Vibration Directive
2002/44/EC please visit The European Agency for Safety and Health at work

General Safety
• For multiple hazards, read and understand the safety instructions before
installing, operating, repairing, maintaining, changing accessories on, or
working near this tool. Failure to do so can result in serious bodily injury
• Only qualified and trained operators should install, adjust, or use this tool
• Do not modify this tool. Modifications can reduce the effectiveness of
safety measures and increase the risks to the operator
• Do not discard the safety instructions; give them to the operator
• Do not use this tool if it has been damaged
• Tools shall be inspected periodically to verify that the ratings and
markings required by this part of ISO 11148 are legibly marked on
the tool. The employer/user should contact the manufacturer to obtain
replacement marking labels when necessary
WARNING:
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced, physical or mental capabilities or lack of experience
or knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
Projectile hazards
• Be aware that failure of the workpiece or accessories, or even of the
inserted tool itself, can generate high-velocity projectiles
• Always wear impact-resistant eye protection during operation of this tool.
The grade of protection required should be assessed for each use
• For overhead work, wear a safety helmet
• The risks to others should also be assessed at this time
• Ensure that the workpiece is securely fixed
