NOTE
►
The vibration level specified in these instruc-
tions has been measured in accordance with
a standardised measuring procedure and
can be used for equipment comparisons. The
specified vibration emission value can also
be used to make an initial exposure estimate.
WARNING!
►
The vibration level will vary according to the
use of the power tool and may sometimes
be higher than the value specified in these
instructions. Regular use of the power tool in
this way may cause the user to underestimate
the vibration. Try to keep the vibration loads
as low as possible. Measures to reduce the
vibration load are, e.g. wearing gloves and
limiting the working time. Wherein all states
of operation must be included (e.g. times
when the power tool is switched off and times
where the power tool is switched on but run-
ning without load).

Safety Warnings
WARNING!
►
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
PWS 230 C3
1. Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flam-
mable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools cre-
ate sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entan-
gled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, only
use an extension cable suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
