Additional Safety Rules; Noise And Vibration - Flex FHE 1-16 18.0-EC Original Operating Instructions

Additional safety rules

■ Secure the workpiece. Clamping devices or
a vise will hold the workpiece in place better
and more safely than holding it by hand.
■ Do not drill, fasten or break into existing
walls or other blind areas where
electrical wiring may exist. If this situation
is unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit
breakers feeding this worksite.
■ Position yourself to avoid being caught
between the tool or side handle and walls
or posts. Should the bit become bound or
jammed in the work, the reaction torque of
the tool could crush your hand or leg.
■ Use suitable detectors to detect
concealed power supply cables or
consult your local supply company.
Contact with electric cables may result in a
fire and/or electric shock. A damaged gas
pipe may cause an explosion. Cutting into a
water pipe will cause damage to property or
may cause an electric shock.
■ When working, hold the power tool
firmly with both hands and ensure that
you have a secure footing. The power
tool is controlled more securely if held with
both hands.
■ Only use tools with SDS-plus tool holder.
Pull on the tool to check that it is locked
properly.
■ Dust released from materials, such
as lead paints, some types of wood,
minerals and metal, may be hazardous
to the operator or people in the vicinity.
Inhaling or touching such dust may result in
respiratory diseases and/or allergic reactions.
– Ensure the workplace is well-ventilated.
– If possible, use external dust extraction.
– It is recommended to wear a respirator
mask belonging to filter class P2.
■ Do not work on materials which release
hazardous substances (e.g. asbestos).
■ Use only original batteries with the
voltage indicated on the type plate of
your power tool. The use of other batteries,
e.g. imitations, reconditioned batteries or
other makes, increases the risk of injury and
damage to property by exploding batteries.
■ Recharge batteries only with chargers
recommended by the manufacturer. A
charger that is suitable for one type of battery
may create a fire hazard when used with
another battery.

■ The battery may be damaged by pointed
objects such as e.g. nails or screwdrivers
or by external application of force. This
may give rise to an internal short circuit,
causing the battery to burn, smoke, explode
or overheat.
■ Before carrying out any work on the power
tool, move the direction preselector switch to
the middle position.
■ Operate the direction preselector switch only
when the tool is stopped.
■ Identify the power tool with stickers only. Do
not drill any holes into the housing.

Noise and vibration

The noise and vibration values have been
determined in accordance with EN 62841.
The A-weighted noise level of the power tool
is typically:
– Sound pressure level L
– Sound power level L
– Uncertainty:
Total vibration value:
– Emission value a
– Uncertainty:
CAUTION!
The indicated measurements refer to new
power tools. Daily use causes the noise and
vibration values to change.
NOTE
The vibration emission level given in this
information sheet has been measured in
accordance with a measurement method
standardised in EN 62841 and may be used
to compare one tool with another.
That the declared vibration total value(s) and
the declared noise emission value(s) may
also be used in a preliminary assessment of
exposure.
However, if the tool is used for different
applications, with different cutting accessories
or poorly maintained, the vibration emission
level may differ.
This may significantly increase the exposure
level over the total working period.
To make an accurate estimation of the
vibration exposure level, it is also necessary
to take into account the times when the tool
is switched off or running but not actually in
use.
