Vibration
The declared vibration emission values stated in
the technical data and the declaration of conformity
have been measured in accordance with
a standard test method provided by EN 60745 and
may be used for comparing one tool with another.
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. The vibration level may increase
above the level stated.

should consider, the actual conditions of use and
the way the tool is used, including taking account
of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times
