Note 1: Equivalent sound pressure level, according to ISO 22868, is calculated as the time-weighted energy total for different sound
pressure levels under various working conditions. Typical statistical dispersion for equivalent sound pressure level is a standard
deviation of 1.5 dB (A).
Note 2: Noise emissions in the environment measured as sound power (Lwa) in conformity with EC directive 2000/14/EC.
19. Prolonged use of this product expose the operator to
