2.6 Emission levels
The levels determined in accordance
with EN 62841 are typically:
Sound pressure level
Sound power level
Uncertainty
CAUTION
Noise generated when working
Risk of damage to hearing
► Use ear protection.
Vibration emission level a
three directions) and uncertainty K measured in
accordance with EN 62841:
Sawing wood
Sawing metal
The specified emission levels (vibration, noise)
– are used to compare machines.
– They are also used for making preliminary
estimates regarding vibration and noise
load during operation.
– They represent the primary applications of
the power tool.

The emission values may deviate from the
specified values. This is dependent on how
the tool is used and the type of workpiece
being machined.
► The actual load during the entire operating
