TECHNICAL DATA

*Measured, **Guaranteed
P40 = Machine marked (P40) is operated intermittently, each cycle comprising a period of operation of 40 seconds at rated power input 2500 W and period of 60 seconds with the machine at no load.

Always wear ear protection.
The declared vibration value, which has been measured by a standardised test method, can be used to compare different tools with each other and for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The measurement values have been determined  in accordance with EN 50434:2014.
WARNING!
The actual vibration level when using power tools may differ from the specified maximum value, depending on how the tool is used.
It is therefore necessary to determine which safety precautions are required to protect the user, based on an estimate of exposure in actual operating conditions (taking into account all stages of the work cycle, e.g. the time when the tool is switched off and when it is idling, in addition to the start- up time).
