NOTE: The declared vibration emission value has been
measured in accordance with the standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
NOTE: The declared vibration emission value may
also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
The vibration emission during actual
use of the power tool can differ from the declared
emission value depending on the ways in which the
tool is used.
WARNING:
Be sure to identify safety measures
to protect the operator that are based on an estima-
tion of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking
