WARNING! The declared vibration total values
and the declared noise emission values given in this
instruction manual have been measured in accordance
with a standardised test and may be used to compare
one tool with another. They may be used for a preliminary
assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration and noise emission values
represent the main applications of the tool. However, if the
tool is used for dierent applications, used with dierent
accessories, or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise
emission may dier. These conditions may signicantly
increase the exposure levels over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and
noise should take into account the times when the tool
is turned o or when it is running idle. These conditions
may signicantly reduce the exposure level over the total
working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator
2
