Residual Risks
Additional residual risks may arise when using the tool which

and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual
risks can not be avoided. These include:

When using mains-powered
Injuries caused when changing any parts, blades or
accessories.
Injuries caused by prolonged use of a tool. When using any
tool for prolonged periods ensure you take regular breaks.
Impairment of hearing.
Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed
when using your tool (example:- working with wood,
especially oak, beech and MDF).
Vibration
The declared vibration emission values stated in the technical
data and the declaration of conformity have been measured
in accordance with a standard test method provided by
EN50636 and may be used for comparing one tool with
another. The declared vibration emission value may also be
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
Warning:

during actual use of the power tool can differ from the
declared value depending on the ways in which the
tool is used. The vibration level may increase above the
level stated.
When assessing vibration exposure to determine safety
measures required by 2002/44/EC to protect persons
regularly using power tools in employment, an estimation of
vibration exposure should consider, the actual conditions of
use and the way the tool is used, including taking account of
all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the
tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to
the trigger time.
After Use
When not in use, the machine should be stored in a dry,
well ventilated place out of reach of children.
Children should not have access to stored machines.
When the machine is stored or transported in a vehicle
it should be placed in the boot or restrained to prevent
movement following sudden changes in speed or
direction.
Inspection and Repairs
Before use, check the machine for damaged or defective
parts. Check for breakage of parts and any other
conditions that may affect its operation.
Do not use the machine if any part is damaged or
defective.
Have any damaged or defective parts repaired or
replaced by an authorised repair agent.
Never attempt to remove or replace any parts other than
those specified in this manual.

Extension Cords

Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating.
