WARNING
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 50636-2-100 Annex BB and may
be used to compare one tool with another. It may 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 di erent applications, with di erent accessories or
poorly maintained, the vibration emission may di er. This may signifi cantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched o or when it is running but not actually doing
the job. This may signifi cantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the e ects of
vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.
