Noise/Vibration Information
Noise emission values determined according to
EN 62841‑2‑8.
Typically, the A-weighted sound pressure level of the power
tool is 79 dB(A). Uncertainty K = 3 dB. The noise level when
working can exceed the volume stated. Wear hearing pro-
tection!
Vibration total values a (triax vector sum) and uncertainty K

a = 16 m/s , K = 1.5 m/s .
h
The vibration level and noise emission value given in these
instructions have been measured in accordance with a
1 609 92A 50E | (04.12.2019)
standardised measuring procedure and may be used to com-
pare power tools. They may also be used for a preliminary
estimation of vibration and noise emissions.
The stated vibration level and noise emission value repres-
ent the main applications of the power tool. However, if the
power tool is used for other applications, with different ap-
plication tools or is poorly maintained, the vibration level
and noise emission value may differ. This may significantly
increase the vibration and noise emissions over the total
working period.
To estimate vibration and noise emissions accurately, the
times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but
not actually being used should also be taken into account.
This may significantly reduce vibration and noise emissions
over the total working period.
Implement additional safety measures to protect the oper-
ator from the effects of vibration, such as servicing the
power tool and application tools, keeping their hands warm,
and organising workflows correctly.
Assembly
Fastening the auxiliary handle (see figure A)
Unscrew the screw (4) out of the auxiliary handle (3) until
the auxiliary handle fits into the auxiliary handle mount (5).
Slide the auxiliary handle (3) into the auxiliary handle
mount (5). Tighten the auxiliary handle by turning it clock-

Working Advice
u
u
u
Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid-
ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current
of 30 mA or less.
Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
power source must match the voltage specified on the
rating plate of the power tool. Power tools marked
with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
work on the power tool.
This power tool is not suitable for bench-mounted use.
It must not be clamped into a vice or fastened to a work-
bench, for example.
Wear protective gloves during work and pay particu-
lar attention to the cord. Make sure that cut sheet
parts are not bent towards your body or the cord.
Sharp burrs develop on the cut sheets; these can cause
