● Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
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 EN62841
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.
When assessing vibration exposure to determine safety
measures required by 2002/44/EC to protect persons
regularly using power tools in employment, an estimation of
vibration exposure 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 when the tool
is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the
trigger time.
