Safety Warnings - Makita DVC260 Instruction Manual

Intended use
The tool is intended for collecting dry dust. The tool
is suitable for commercial use, for example in hotels,
schools, hospitals, factories, shops, offices and rental
businesses.
Noise
The typical A-weighted noise level determined accord-
ing to IEC60335-2-69, IEC60704-2-1:
Sound pressure level (L
Uncertainty (K) : 2.5 dB(A)
The noise level under working may exceed 80 dB (A).
WARNING:
Wear ear protection.
Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) deter-
mined according to IEC60335-2-69:
Work mode: operation without load
Vibration emission (a ) : 2.5 m/s
h
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) has been
measured in accordance with a standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) 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 value(s) depending on the ways in which
the tool is used especially what kind of workpiece
is processed.
WARNING:
Be sure to identify safety mea-
sures to protect the operator that are based on an
estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of
use (taking account of all parts of the operating
cycle such as the times when the tool is switched
off and when it is running idle in addition to the
trigger time).
