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 dependant
on the following examples and other variations on how the tool is used:
How the tool is 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.
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).Note The use of other tools will reduce the users’ total
working period on this tool.
Helping to minimise your vibration exposure risk.
ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades
Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated
(where appropriate)
Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10ºC or less
Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number of days.
Health Surveillance
All employees should be part of an employer’s health surveillance scheme to help identity
any vibration related diseases at an early stage, prevent disease progression and help
employees stay in work.
Double insulation
The tool is double insulated. This means that all the external metal parts are
electrically insulated from the mains power supply. This is done by placing insulation
barriers between the electrical and mechanical components making it unnecessary for the
tool to be earthed.
Important note
Be sure the supply is the same as the voltage given on the rating plate. The tool is fitted
with a two-core cable and plug.
Remove the mains plug from socket before carrying out, any adjustment or servicing.
