Noise

The typical A-weighted noise level determined according to EN60745:

Sound pressure level (LpA) : 73 dB(A)

Uncertainty (K) : 3 dB(A)

The noise level under working may exceed 80 dB (A).

Wear ear protection.

ENG208-5

Vibration

The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) determined according to EN60745:

Work mode : surface grinding

Vibration emission (ah,AG) : 8.5 m/s2

Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s2

The declared vibration emission value has been measured in accordance with the standard test method 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.

The declared vibration emission value is used for main applications of the power tool. However if the power tool is used for other applications, the vibration emission value may be different.

WARNING:

•The vibration emission during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared emission value depending on the ways in which the tool is used.

•Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (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).

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety

1.Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

2.Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

3.Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause

you to lose control.

Electrical safety

4.Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

5.Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

6.Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
