CAUTION!
The indicated measurements refer to new power tools.
Daily use causes the noise and vibration values to change.
NOTE
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 de-
clared 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.
However if the tool is used for different applications, with different
accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may dif-
fer. This may significantly decrease the exposure level over the to-
tal 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, organisation of work patterns.
CAUTION!
Wear ear protection at a sound pressure above 85 dB(A).
