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.
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).
The sound intensity level for the operator may exceed 85dB(A) and ear protection measures
are necessary.
Recycling and disposal
Recycle unwanted materials instead of disposing of them as waste. All tools, hoses and
packaging should be sorted, taken to the local recycling centre and disposed of in an
environmentally safe way.
Recycle rather than dispose of unwanted material in landll whenever possible. The machine
must be delivered in rigid packaging to avoid damage during transportation. The packaging
and the machine itself are manufactured from recyclable materials and should be disposed of
accordingly.
Only dispose of electrical/electronic/battery terms in separate collection schemes, which cater
for the recovery and recycling of materials contained within. Your cooperation is vital to ensure
the success of these schemes and for the protection of the environment.
Recycle packaging where facilities exist.
