MSTS1500-A by MacAllister
requires power tool manufacturers and suppliers to provide indicative vibration
test results to enable users to make informed decisions as to the period of time
a power tool can be used safely on a daily basis and the choice of tool.
SEE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS IN THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR THE
VIBRATION LEVELS OF YOUR TOOL.
The declared vibration emission value should be used as a minimum level and
should be used with the current guidance on vibration.
Calculating the actual period of the actual period off use can be difficult and the
HSE website has further information.
The declared vibration emission been measured in accordance with a standardised
test stated above and may be used to compare one tool with another tool.
The declared vibration emission value may also be used in a preliminary
assessment of exposure.
Warning: The vibration emission value during actual use of the power tool
can differ from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool
is used dependant on the following examples and other variations on how the
tool is used:
How the tool is used and the materials being cut or drilled.
The tool being in good condition and well maintained.
The use the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp and in good
condition.
The tightness of the grip on the handles.
And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions.
While working with this power tool, hand/arm vibrations occur. Adopt the
correct working practices in order to reduce the exposure to vibration. This
tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately
managed.
Warning: 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). Note The use of other
tools will reduce the users' total working period on this tool.
Helping to minimise your vibration exposure risk. ALWAYS use sharp chisels,
drills and blades.
Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated
(where appropriate).
Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10ºC or less. Plan your work schedule to
spread any high vibration tool use across a number of days.
