TECHNICAL DATA

Noise values
Sound pressure level LpA| 82 dB(A)
Uncertainty KpA| 3 dB
Measured sound power level LwA| 92 dB(A)
Uncertainty KwA| 3 dB
Guaranteed sound power level LwA| 95 dB(A)

Always wear ear protection!
The declared values for vibration and noise, which have been measured according to a standardised test method, can be used to compare different tools with each other and for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The measurement values have been determined in accordance with EN ISO 3744:1995.

WARNING!
The actual vibration and noise level when using tools may differ from the specified maximum value, depending on how the tool is used and the material. It is therefore necessary to determine which safety precautions are required to protect the user, based on an estimate of exposure in actual operating conditions (taking into account all stages of the work cycle, e.g. the time when the tool is switched off and when it is idling, in addition to the start- up time).

   Keep children, onlookers and pets away from the work area. You can easily lose control of the product if you are distracted – risk of personal injury.

2. Route the power cord so that there is no risk of tripping over or damaging it.
   The cord must be long enough to ensure freedom of movement when working.

3. Because the product uses water the power cord should be hung in a curve below the power point to ensure that water cannot run along the cord to the power point.

WARNING!

• Check that the mains voltage corresponds to the rated voltage on the type plate.

• Only use an extension cord approved for outdoor use. Connect the cord to a splash-proof power point.

• The cross-sectional area of the extension cord must be dimensioned for the power supply to the product.
  – 1.5 mm2 up to 60 m in length
  – 2.5 mm2 up to 100 m in length

• Use a mains connection protected by a residual current device. Check that the circuit is not overloaded.

ADJUSTING

AFTER USE

1. Switch off the product, pull out the plug, and allow it to cool.
2. Check, clean and store the product as described in the maintenance instructions.

CHECKING AND TENSIONING THE BELT

1. Tension the belt after 25 working hours.
   Follow the instructions below to check the tension of the belt.

2. Remove the guard over the belt.

3. Check the belt for cracks and other damage. If the belt is damaged, replace it as described below.
   1. Undo the screws on the motor attachment and move up the attachment as far as possible..
   2. Lift the belt off the large pulley, and then from the pulley on the motor.
   3. Put the new belt on the small pulley first, and then on the large one.
   4. Move down the motor attachment until the belt is correctly tensioned, as below. Tighten the screws on the motor attachment.

Check and adjust the tension of the belt

1. Press a finger on the middle of the belt.
   It should be possible to press in the belt about 1.3 to 1.9 cm.

2. If the belt can be pressed in more than this, tension it by undoing the screws on the motor attachment and moving the attachment away from the pulley. Tighten the screws on the motor attachment and check the tension again. If the belt is so long that it cannot be properly tensioned it must be replaced.
