harm the O-rings and other rubber parts and will cause the
tool to malfunction.

NOISE AND VIBRATION DATA

NOISE EMISSION (See Tool Technical Data)
The characteristic noise values for the tool have been
determined in accordance with EN 12549 - "Acoustics
- Noise test code for fastener driving tools - Engineering
Method."
These values are tool related characteristic values and
do not represent the noise development at the point of
use. Noise development at the point of use will depend for
example on the working environment, the work piece, the
work piece support and the number of driving operations,
etc.
14
Depending on the conditions at the workplace and the form
of the work piece, individual noise attenuation measures
may need to be carried out, such as placing work pieces
on sound damping supports, preventing work piece
vibration by means of clamping or covering, adjusting to
the minimum air pressure required for the job, etc.
INFORMATION ON VIBRATION (see Tool Technical Data)
The characteristic vibration value for the tool has
been determined in accordance with ISO/WD 8662-11
"Measurement of vibration in hand held power tools -
Part 11 Fastener Driving Tools".
This value is a tool related characteristic and does not
represent the influence on the hand-arm system when
using the tool. An influence on the hand-arm system
when using the tool will depend for example on the
gripping force, the contact force, the working direction,
the adjustment of the compressed air supply, the work
piece, the work piece support, etc.

MAINTENANCE INTERVALS

Maintenance intervals for the tools can vary depending
upon the environment the tool is being operated in, the
application it is being used for and the volume of nails
that are being driven. For example, if it is being used
in dirty and dusty conditions for high volume nailing,
maintenance will be required more frequently rather
than in clean conditions with low volumes of nails.
The chart that follows has been produced as a guide
to help you establish the maintenance intervals for the
tools. If you experience an excessive build up of debris
within the tool between cleans, reduce the maintenance
intervals. If the tool does not require cleaning within the
schedule you have established, then you may be able
to extend the maintenance intervals. If you have any
questions regarding the above please contact your local
distributor for help and advice.
