Noise information: Measured values determined according to
EN 50636 / EN ISO 4871.
Typically, the A-weighted noise levels of the tool are:
Sound pressure level / Uncertainty K
Sound power level / Uncertainty K
Always wear ear protectors!
Vibration information: Total vibration values (vector sum in the
three axes) determined according to EN 50636.

WARNING!
The vibration and noise emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardized test given in
EN 60335-1 / EN 50636-2-91 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration and noise emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for diff erent
applications, with diff erent accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may diff er. This may signifi cantly increase the
exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise 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 signifi cantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the eff ects of vibration and/or noise such as: maintain the tool and the
accessories, keep the hands warm, organization of work patterns.
WARNING Read these instructions carefully, be familiar
with the controls and the proper use of the machine. Save all
warnings and instructions for future reference.

NOTES FOR LI-ION BATTERIES
Use of Li-Ion batteries
Battery packs which have not been used for some time should be
recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the performance of
the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine (risk
of overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be fully charged,
after used.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery pack
from the charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C and
away from moisture
Store the battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition
Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
Battery protection for Li-Ion Akkus
In extremely high torque, binding, stalling and short circuit situations
that cause high current draw, the tool will vibrate for about 5
seconds, the fuel gauge will fl ash,and then the tool will turn OFF. To
reset, release the trigger.
