Noise/Vibration Information
Measured sound values determined according
to EN 60745.
Typically the A-weighted sound pressure level of
the product is 72 dB(A). Uncertainty K=3 dB.
The noise level when working can exceed
80 dB(A).
Wear hearing protection!
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) deter-
mined according to EN 60745:
Vibration emission value a
2
K =1.5 m/s .
The vibration emission level given in this infor-
mation sheet has been measured in accordance
with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and
may be used to compare one tool with another.
It may be used for a preliminary assessment of
exposure.
The declared vibration emission level repre-
sents 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 signifi-
cantly increase the exposure level over the total
working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibra-
tion should also take into account the times
when the tool is switched off or when it is run-
ning but not actually doing the job. This may sig-
nificantly reduce the exposure level over the to-
tal 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.

Assembly
Before any work on the machine (e. g. main-
tenance, changing the tool, etc.) as well as
during its transport and storage, lock the
On/Off switch in the off position. There is
danger of injury when the On/Off switch is
unintentionally actuated.
Battery Charging (see figures A–B)
Use only the battery chargers listed on the
accessories page. Only these battery charg-
ers are matched to the lithium ion battery of
your power tool.
Note: The battery is supplied partially charged.
To ensure full capacity of the battery, complete-
ly charge the battery in the battery charger be-
fore using your power tool for the first time.
The lithium ion battery can be charged at any
time without reducing its service life. Interrupt-
ing the charging procedure does not damage the
battery.
The lithium ion battery is protected against
deep discharging by the "Electronic Cell Protec-
tion (ECP)". When the battery is empty, the ma-
chine is switched off by means of a protective
circuit: The inserted tool no longer rotates.
Do not continue to press the
WARNING
On/Off switch after the ma-
chine has been automatically switched off. The
battery can be damaged.
To remove the battery 2, press the battery un-
locking button 1 and pull the battery out of the
power tool toward the rear. Do not exert any
force.
