Vibration details
Vibration total values (triaxial vector sum) determined according to EN 500:
Vibration emission value ah| 18 m/s²
Uncertainty K = 1,5 m/s2|

WARNING: The vibration emission level will vary because of the ways in which a power tool can be used and may increase above the level given in this information sheet.
The vibration emission level may be used to compare one tool with another.
It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
An accurate estimate of the vibratory load should also take into account the times when the tool is shut down or when it is running but not actually in use. This may significantly reduce the vibratory load over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organization of work patterns.
Read and understand the operating instructions before using the appliance. Familiarize with the control elements and how to use the appliance properly. Abide by all the safety measures stated in the service manual. Act responsibly toward third parties.
The operator is responsible for accidents or risks to third parties.
In case of any doubts about connection and operation refer please to our customer center

Check carefully the terrain where the appliance is being used and remove any items that could get caught and be thrown away.
Poor lighting/light conditions represent a high safety risk. Provide adequate lighting or good lighting conditions when working with the machine.
Before work can begin, operators must familiarize themselves with the work site. Elements of the work site include, for example, obstacles around the site or in the surrounding traffic, the load bearing capacity of the earth and ensuring the construction site is safe and secured.
Safe operation requires sufficient operator knowledge of the functions and positions of the controls and indicators or meters. Pay attention to the illustrated pages in the front section of the manual.
The appliance should only be used when in a perfect state. Carry out a visual inspection before switching the appliance on. Check especially the safety equipment, electrical control elements, power lines and screw couplings for any damage and if they are tightened appropriately. Replace any damaged parts before the appliance is put into operation if necessary.
The appliance must not be used if damaged or safety equipment is defective. Replace any worn-out and damaged parts.
It is strictly prohibited to disassemble, modify and purposely remove the protective equipment on the unit and fit other protective equipment instead.
No change can be made in respect of engine and unit setting.
When working with this machine, do not use spare parts other than those recommended by us. Using spare parts not recommend by us can result in serious injuries to persons or damage to the machine. Oil products must not come into contact with skin, eyes and clothing.

Transport and storage

• Secure the device against shifting and toppling during transport.
• Take care to prevent from fuel and oil leakage during transport.
• Handling equipment to be used only when handling the machine.
• The load bearing capacity of the earth must be high enough to carry the weight of the machine.
• It is prohibited to stand or work under suspended loads.
• Do not store the appliance in enclosed places just after being switched off but let it cool down outdoors instead.
