Denomination Of Components; Putting Into Operation; Mounting The Guide Bar And Saw Chain - Makita DCS230T Instruction Manual

• The declared vibration emission value has been measured in accordance with the standard test method 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 during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared emission value depending on
the ways in which the tool is used.
• Be sure to 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).
