Care and Maintenance
Before the beginning of maintenance or repair works you have to disconnect the plug from the mains.
Repairs may be executed only by appropriately qualified and experienced personnel. After every repair the
machine has to be inspected by an electric specialist. Due to its design, the machine needs a minimum of
care and maintenance. However, the following points always have to be observed:
• Always keep the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
• During work, please pay attention that no particles get inside the machine.
• In case of failure, a repair has to be carried out by an authorised service workshop.
Environmental Protection
Raw material recycling instead of waste disposal
In order to avoid damages on transportation, the power tool has to be delivered in sturdy packing.
The packing as well as the tool and its accessories are made of recyclable materials and can
be disposed accordingly.
The tool's plastic components are marked according to their material, which makes it possible to remove
environmental friendly and differentiated because of available collection facilities
Only for EU countries
Do not dispose of electric tools together with household waste material!
In observance of European Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment and its
implementation in accordance with national law, electric tools that have reached the end of their life must
be collected separately and returned to an environmentally compatible recycling facility
Noise Emission / Vibration
The indication of noise emission is measured according to DIN 45 635, part 21. The level of acoustic
pressure on the work place could exceed 85 dB (A); in this case protection measures must be taken.
Wear ear protectors!
The typical hand-arm vibration is below 2.5 m/s².
Measured values determined according to EN 60 745
Vibration emission value
Uncertainty
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. 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.
