Vibration
The declared vibration emission values stated
in the technical data and the declaration of
conformity have been measured in accordance
with a standard test method provided by EN 60745
and may be used for comparing one tool with
another. The declared vibration emission value
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. The vibration level may increase
above the level stated.
When assessing vibration exposure to determine
safety measures required by 2002/44/EC to
protect persons regularly using power tools in
employment, an estimation of vibration exposure
should consider, the actual conditions of use and
the way the tool is used, including 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.
