18.4 Extension Cords
If an extension cord is used, it must have a ground wire and
the wire gage of its conductors must meet the following
minimum requirements – depending on the line voltage and
length of the extension cord:
If rated voltage on the rating label is 220V to 240V:
– Cord length up to 20 m: AWG 15 / 1.5 mm²
– Cord length 20 m up to 50 m: AWG 13 / 2.5 mm²

18.5 Noise and Vibration Data
K-value (uncertainty) for sound pressure levels is 2 dB(A).
K-value (uncertainty) for sound power levels is 2 dB(A). K-
value (uncertainty) for vibration levels is 2 m/s².
STIHL recommends that you wear hearing protection.

The vibration values quoted above have been measured
according to a standardized test procedure and may be used
to compare electric power tools. Depending on the type of
usage, the vibrations that actually occur may differ from the
values quoted. The vibration values quoted may be used for
an initial assessment of the user's exposure to vibrations.
The actual exposure to vibrations has to be estimated. This
process may also take into account times during which the
electric power tool is switched off and times during which it
is switched on but running off load.
