NOISE EMISSION VALUES
Noise emission values determined according to EN 62841-2-4:
HSE73 – HSR73 – HSS73

Use ear protection!
VIBRATION EMISSION VALUES
Vibration total values ah (triax vector sum) and uncertainty K determined according to EN 62841-2-4:
HSE73 – HSR73 – HSS73

Displayed emission values are comparative and are to be employed for a provisional assessment of the operator’s risk exposure during the work period.
