The declared vibration value has been measured in accordance with
a standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with
another. The declared vibration value may also be used in a
preliminary assessment of exposure.
Getting started...
The sound intensity level for the operator may exceed 85 dB(A) and
ear protection measures are necessary.
WARNING! The vibration emission value during actual use
of the tool can differ from the declared value depending on
the ways in which the tool is used. 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). Depending on the actual use of the product
the vibration values can differ from the declared total! Adopt
proper measures to protect yourself against vibration
exposures! Take the whole work process including times the
product is running under no load or switched off into
consideration! Proper measures include among others
regular maintenance and care of the product and
accessories, keeping hands warm, periodical breaks and
proper planning of work processes!
