VIBRATION INFORMATION
Typical weighted vibration ah<1.5 m/s2
Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s²
The declared vibration total value may be used for
comparing one tool with another, and 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 if any
anti vibration accessories are used.
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: To be accurate, an estimation of
exposure level in the actual conditions of use
should also take account of all parts of the operating
cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off
and when it is running idle but not actually doing the
NSF8LMWQE]WMKRMƼGERXP]VIHYGIXLII\TSWYVIPIZIP
over the total working period.
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)
If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti
vibration accessories.
Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration
tool use across a number of days.
