Noise And Vibration - Flex VLP 18 Original Operating Instructions

VLP 18
CAUTION!
Do not dip or use the seal in the presence of
any oil-based products. Oil and oil products
(machine oil + lubricants) will permanently
damage the seal and cannot be removed.
If the seal has absorbed any oil, it should be
disposed of safely, the base should be
cleaned, and the seal replaced.
CAUTION!
Do not use or store the seal in the presence
of chemical solvents. Kerosene, acetone,
turpentine, benzene, acids, etc. and even
their fumes in closed spaces or thin layers
on surfaces can melt the seal and damage
its structure and cause failure.
Safety instructions for handling
batteries
Do not open the battery. Danger of short

circuit.
Protect the battery against heat,

including prolonged sunlight, fire, water
and moisture. Danger of explosion.
A damaged or incorrectly used battery

may result in the emission of fumes.
Ensure a supply of fresh air and consult a
doctor if you feel unwell. The fumes may
irritate the respiratory tracts.
Liquid may leak out of the battery if the

battery is used incorrectly. Avoid contact
with such liquid. In the event of
accidental contact, rinse with water. If
liquid gets into the eyes, seek medical
attention as well. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
Use FLEX rechargeable batteries only in

connection with FLEX tools and FLEX
accessories. Only in this way is the
rechargeable battery protected against
dangerous overloads.
Recharge batteries using only chargers

recommended by the manufacturer. A
charger that is suitable for one type of
battery may create a fire hazard if used
with another battery.
The battery could be damaged by pointed

objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by
force exerted on it externally. This may
give rise to an internal short circuit,
causing the battery to burn, smoke,
explode or overheat.
Additional safety notices
Use only adhesive signs to label the power

tool. Do not drill any holes into the housing.
The mains voltage must match the voltage

specification on the factory plate.

Noise and vibration

NOTE
Values for the A rated noise level as well as
-
the total values pertaining to vibration can
be gleaned from the table "Technical data".
The noise and vibration values have been
determined in accordance with EN 60335.
WARNING!
The specified measured values apply to
new power tools. Daily use causes the noise
and vibration values to change.
NOTE
The vibration emission level stated in these
instructions has been measured in
accordance with a standardised test given
in EN 60335 and may be used to compare
one tool with another.
It can also be used for a preliminary
assessment of exposure. The declared
vibration emission level represents the main
applications of the tool.
However, if the tool is used for different
applications, with different accessories or
poor maintenance, the vibration emission
level may differ. This may significantly
increase the exposure level over the total
working period.
However if the tool is used for different
applications, with different accessories or is
poorly maintained, the vibration emission
may differ. This may significantly decrease
the exposure level over the total working
period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect
the operator from the effects of vibration such
as: Maintain the power tool and accessories,
keep hands warm, organise work patterns.
CAUTION!
Wear ear defenders at a sound pressure
over 85 dB(A).
