development without notice. All dimensions, references and information of this instruction manual are therefore without guarantee. Legal claims, which are made on the basis of the instruction manual, cannot thus be considered as valid.

The stated vibration emission value was measured in accordance with a standard testing procedure and may be used to compare one power tool to another. The stated vibration emission value may also be used for a preliminary exposure assessment.

Warning:

The vibration emission value may differ during actual use of the power tool from the stated value

depending on the manner in which the power tool is used. Safety precautions aimed at protecting the user should be based on estimated exposure under actual usage conditions (all parts of the operating cycle are to be considered, including, for example, times during which the power tool is turned off and times when the tool is turned on but is running idle).
