Noise And Vibration - Flex BW 18.0-EC Operating Manual

Safety instructions for battery
operated blowers
WARNING!
Read and follow all safety instructions and
other instructions in this manual.
Failure to observe the warnings and instruc-
tions may cause an electric shock, fire and/or
serious injuries. Keep this manual in a safe
place for subsequent use.
 Ensure that no persons in the vicinity are
injured by foreign particles that are swept
up into the air.
 Keep fingers away from the openings of
the power tool during use. Only operate the
blower with the nozzle attached.
The rotating blower can cause injuries.
 Do not air sweep substances that are
hazardous to health, such as beechwood
dust or oak dust, stone dust, asbestos.
These substances have been found to be
carcinogenic.
 Do not air sweep liquids.
Any ingress of liquid increases the risk of
electric shock.
 Do not expose the device to rain or wet
conditions.
The ingress of water in the motor
increases the risk of electric shock.
 Ensure that the workplace is well
ventilated.
 Wear additional personal protective
equipment such as safety goggles and
respirator (or breathing protection).
Wearing suitable protective equipment
for the conditions reduces any exposure
to hazardous substances.

Noise and vibration

The noise and vibration values have been
determined in accordance with EN 15503.
The A evaluated noise level of the power
tool is typically:
Ó Sound pressure level:
Ó Sound power level:
Ó Uncertainty K:
Total vibration value:
Ó Emission value a
Ó Uncertainty K:
CAUTION!
The indicated measurements refer to new
power tools. Daily use causes the noise
and vibration values to change.
NOTE
The vibration emission level given in this
information sheet has been measured
in accordance with a standardised test
given in EN 15503 and may be used to
compare one tool with another. It may be
used for a preliminary assessment of
exposure. The declared vibration emission
level represents the main applications of the
tool. However if the tool is used for different
applications, with different accessories
or poorly maintained, the vibration emission
may differ. This may significantly increase
the exposure level over the total working
period. However if the tool is used for
different applications, with different
accessories or poorly maintained, the
vibration emission may differ.
This may significantly decrease the exposure
level over the total working period. Identify
additional safety measures to protect the
operator from the effects of vibration such as:
maintain the tool and the accessories, keep
the hands warm, organisation of work
patterns.
CAUTION!
Wear ear protection at a sound pressure
above 85 dB(A).
