engine noise exceeds 85 dB (A), please wear appropriate
hearing protection. If the electrical connection is faulty,
the current may drop when the machine starts. This may
affect other machines (e.g. flashing lights). If the electric
output corresponds to Zmax <0.27, such interference
should not occur. (If it does, notify your dealer).
• The vibration emission value given below has been
measured by a standardized test, and can be used for
comparing one power tool to another;
• The vibration emission value given below may also be
used for a first assessment of exposure.
Warning:
• The vibration emission value may vary during actual
use of the power tool from the specified value, depending on the manner in which the power tool is used;
• Try to keep exposure to vibration to a minimum. Examples of ways to reduce vibration levels are wearing
gloves when using the tool and limiting working hours.
In doing so, all parts of the operating cycle must be
taken into account (for example, times in which the
power tool is turned off, or when it is turned on without load).

m General Safety Rules
WARNING! When using electric tools basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock and personal injury.
• Keep work area clear. Cluttered areas and benches
invite injuries.
• Consider work area environment. Do not expose tools to
rain. Do not use tools in damp or wet locations. Keep
work area well lit. Do not use tools in the presence of
flammable liquids or gases.
• Guard against electric shock. Avoid body contact with
earthed or grounded surfaces.
• Keep other people away. Do not let others, especially
children, get involved in the work touch the tool or the
extension lead and keep them away from the work area.
• Store idle tools. When not in use, tools should be
stored in a dry locked-up place, out of reach of children.
• Do not force the tool. It will do the job better and safer
at the rate for which it was intended.
• Use the right tool. Do not force small tools 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.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery
they can be caught in moving parts. Non-skid footwear
is recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
• Use protective equipment. Use safety glasses. Use
face or dust mask if cutting operations create dust.
• Connect dust extraction equipment. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collecting equipment, ensure these are connected and
properly used.
• Do not abuse the cable. Never pull the power cable
to disconnect it from the socket. Keep the cable away
from heat, oil and sharp edge.
• Secure work. Where possible use clamps or a vice to
hold the work. It’s safer than using your hand.
• Don’t over reach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all time.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect
power cables periodically and if damaged have them
replaced by an authorised service facility. Inspect extension cables periodically and replace if damaged.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
• Disconnect tools. When not in use, before servicing
and when changing accessories such as blades, bits,
cutters, disconnect tools from the power supply.
• Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form the habit
of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches
are removed from the tool before turning it on.
• Avoid unintentional starting. Ensure switch is in ‘off’
position when plugging in.
• Use outdoor extension leads. When the tool is used
outdoors, use only extension leads intended for outdoor
use and so marked.
• Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common
sense and do not operate the tool when you are tired.
• Check damaged parts. Before further use of the tools,
it should be carefully checked to determine that it will
operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check the alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other
conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or
other part that is damaged should be properly repaired
or replaced by an authorised service centre unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual. Do not use
the tool if the switch does not turn on and off.
• Warning. The use of any accessory or attachment other
than one recommended in this instruction manual may
present a risk of personal injury.
• Have your tool repaired by a qualified person. This
electric tool complies with the relevant safety rules.
Repairs should only be carried out by a qualified person using original spare parts, otherwise this may result in considerable danger to the user.
