VIBRATION
The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive has been brought in to help
reduce hand arm vibration syndrome injuries to power tool users. The directive
requires power tool manufacturers and suppliers to provide indicative vibration test
results to enable users to make informed decisions as to the period of time a power
tool can be used safely on a daily basis and the choice of tool.
Further Advice can be found at www.hse.gov.uk
The declared vibration emission value should be used as a minimum level and
should be used with the current guidance on vibration.
Calculating the actual period of the actual period off use can be difficult and the HSE
website has further information.

The declared vibration emission been measured in accordance with a standardised
test stated above and may be used to compare one tool with another.
The declared vibration emission value may also be used in a preliminary
assessment of exposure.
Warning! The vibration emission value during actual use of the power
tool can differ from the declared value depending on the ways in which
the tool is used dependant on the following examples and other variations
on how the tool is used:
How the tool is used and the materials being cut or drilled.
The tool being in good condition and well maintained.
The use the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp and in good
condition.
The tightness of the grip on the handles.
And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions.
This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not
adequately managed
Warning! 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).Note The use of other
tools will reduce the users’ total working period on this tool.
Helping to minimise your vibration exposure risk.
ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades.
Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated
(where appropriate)
Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10ºC or less.
Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number
of days.
Health Surveillance
All employees should be part of an employer’s health surveillance scheme to
help identity any vibration related diseases at an early stage, prevent disease
progression and help employees stay in work.
Important note
Remove the mains plug from socket before carrying out any adjustment
or servicing.
Ensure your mains supply voltage is the same as your tool rating plate voltage.
