NOISE / VIBRATION

• Measured in accordance with EN 62841 the sound
pressure level of this tool is 92.0 dB(A) and the sound
power level 103.0 dB(A) (uncertainty K = 3 dB), and
the vibration 6.25 m/s² (triax vector sum; uncertainty
K = 1.5 m/s²)
• The vibration emission level has been measured in
accordance with a standardised test given in EN 62841;
it may be used to compare one tool with another and as
a preliminary assessment of exposure to vibration when
using the tool for the applications mentioned
- using the tool for different applications, or with different
or poorly maintained accessories, may significantly
increase the exposure level
- the times when the tool is switched off or when it is
running but not actually doing the job, may significantly
reduce the exposure level
! protect yourself against the effects of vibration by
maintaining the tool and its accessories, keeping
your hands warm, and organizing your work
