NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) has been 
measured in accordance with a standard test method 
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) may also 
be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING: 
The vibration emission during actual 
use of the power tool can differ from the declared val-
ue(s) depending on the ways in which the tool is used 
especially what kind of workpiece is processed.
WARNING:
 Be sure to identify safety measures 
to protect the operator that are based on an estima-
tion of exposure in the actual conditions of use (tak-
ing 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).
