The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in
accordance with a standardised test given in EN 61029-1 and prEN 61029-2-10
and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary
assessment of exposure.

WARNING: 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.

• USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using and extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table shows
the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If
in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the
cord.

• WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, neckties, rings, bracelets,
or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is
recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. Air vents of ten
cover moving parts and should also be avoided.

• ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES which meet the ANSI Z87.1 requirements. Also
use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have
impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses.

• SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It’s safer than using your hand
and it frees both hands to operate tool.

• DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

•

MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest

performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

• DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing accessories, such as
blades, bits, cutters, and the like.

• REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in off

position before plugging in.

• USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the instruction manual for
recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of
injury to persons.

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.

Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of

vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm,
organisation of work patterns.
