2.4 Emission levels
Levels determined in accordance with EN 60745 are
typically:
Sound pressure level
Sound power level
Uncertainty

directions) and uncertainty K measured in accor-
dance with EN 60745:
Drilling in metal
Fastening
The specified emissions values (vibration, noise)
– are used to compare machines.
– They are also used for making preliminary esti-
mates regarding vibration and noise loads during
operation.
– They represent the primary applications of the
power tool.
Increase possible for other applications, with other
insertion tools or if not maintained adequately. Take
note of idling and downtimes of machine!
