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
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).
