VIBRATION LEVEL
WARNING
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in
accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 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.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the
times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job.
This may significantly reduce 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 and organisation of
work patterns.
