250W MULTI CUTTER
ERB620HTL
This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately managed.
Warning:
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).
Vibration and noise reduction
To reduce the impact of noise and vibration emission, limit the time of operation, use low-
vibration and low-noise operating modes as well as wear personal protective equipment.
Take the following points into account to minimize the vibration and noise exposure risks:
1. Only use the product as intended by its design and these instructions.
2. Ensure that the product is in good condition and well maintained.
3. Use correct application tools for the product and ensure they in good condition.
4. Keep tight grip on the handles/grip surface.
5. Maintain this product in accordance with these instructions and keep it well lubricated
(where appropriate).
6. Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number of days.
Emergency
Familiarise yourself with the use of this product by means of this instruction manual.
Memorise the safety directions and follow them to the letter. This will help to prevent risks
and hazards.
1. Always be alert when using this product, so that you can recognise and handle risks
early. Fast intervention can prevent serious injury and damage to property.
2. Switch off and disconnect the machine from the power supply if there is any
malfunction. Have the product checked by a qualified specialist and repaired, if
necessary, before you put it into operation again.
Residual risks
Even if you are operating this product in accordance with all the safety requirements,
potential risks of injury and damage remain. The following dangers can arise in
connection with the structure and design of this product:
1. Health defects resulting from vibration emission if the product is being used over long
periods of time or not adequately managed and properly maintained.
2. Injuries and damage to property due to broken application tools or the sudden impact of
hidden objects during use.
3. Danger of injury and property damage caused by flying objects.
Warning: This product produces an electromagnetic field during operation! This
field may under some circumstances interfere with active or passive medical
implants! To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury, we recommend persons with
medical implants to consult their doctor and the medical implant manufacturer before
operating this product!
Health Surveillance
All employees should be part of an employer’s health surveillance scheme to help identity
anyvibration related diseases at an early stage, prevent disease progression and help
employeesstay in work.
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.
NOISE INFORMATION
Wear hearing protection!
Measured sound values determined according to EN 60745.
The noise figures quoted are emission levels and are not necessarily safe working levels.
Whilst there is a correlation between the emission and exposure levels, this cannot be
used reliably to determine whether or not further precautions are required. Factors that
influence the actual level of exposure of work-force include the characteristics of the work
room, the other sources of noise, etc. i.e. the number of machines and other adjacent
processes, and the length of time for which an operator is exposed to the noise. Also the
permissible exposure level can vary from country. This information, however, will enable
the user of the machine to make a better evaluation of the hazard and risk.
VIBRATION INFORMATION
The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive has been brought in to help reduce
hand arm vibration syndrome injuries to power tool users. The directive requires power
tool manufacturers and suppliers to provide indicative vibration test results to enable users
to make informed decisions as to the period of time a power tool can be used safely on a
daily basis and the choice of tool.

Vibration total values (triax cover sum) determined according to EN 60745:
Typical weighted vibration
Vibration emission value a
h
=5.478m/s
2
Uncertainty K =1.5m/s²
The declared vibration emission value should be used as a minimum level and should be
used with the current guidance on vibration.
The declared vibration emission been measured in accordance with a standardised
test stated above and may be used to compare one tool with another tool.The declared
vibration emission value 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 dependent
on the following examples and other variations on how the tool is used:
How the tool is being used and the materials being cut or drilled.
The tool being in good condition and well maintained
The use the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp and in good condition.
The tightness of the grip on the handles.
And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions.
While working with this power tool, hand/arm vibrations occur. Adopt the correct working
practices in order to reduce the exposure to vibration.
