  • Use only rotary cutting bits suitable for the speed of the product.
  • Use the dust collection device and connect a dust extraction vacuum when operating the product.
  • Do not switch on the product again after it has stalled. Switching it on again, can cause a kickback with high reaction force. Determine why the product has stalled and rectify it, paying heed to the safety instructions. If necessary, remove the insertion tool.
  • Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged use of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods, ensure you take regular breaks.
  • Ambient temperature range for tool during operation is between 0°C and 40°C.
  • Ambient temperature range for tool storage is between 0°C and 40°C.
  • The recommended ambient temperature range for the charging system during charging is between 10°C and 38°C.

ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING

The declared vibration total values and the declared noise emission values given in this instruction manual have been measured in accordance with a standardised test and may be used to compare one tool with another. They may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration and noise emission values represent the main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used for different applications, used with different accessories, or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may differ. These conditions may significantly increase the exposure levels over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should take into account the times when the tool is turned off or when it is running idle. These conditions may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration and noise, such as maintaining the tool and the accessories, keeping the hands warm (in case of vibration), and organising work patterns.
