WARNING! The declared vibration total values and the
declared noise emission values given in this instruction
manual have been measured in accordance with a
standardised test and may be used to compare one tool with
another. They may be used for a preliminary assessment
of exposure.
The declared vibration and noise emission values represent
the main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used
for dierent applications, used with dierent accessories,
or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission
may dier. These conditions may signicantly increase the
exposure levels over the total working period. An estimation
of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should take
into account the times when the tool is turned o or when
it is running idle. These conditions may signicantly reduce
the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator
from the eects of vibration and noise, such as maintaining
the tool and the accessories, keeping the hands warm (in
case of vibration), and organising work patterns.
