This tool may cause Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome if its use is not managed
adequately.
This tool is subject to the vibration testing section of the Machinery
Directive 2006/42/EC.
This tool is to be operated in accordance with these instructions.
Measured vibration emission value (a): ……3.8 m/s²
Uncertainty value (k):……………………………..1.5 m/s²
Please note that the application of the tool to a sole specialist task may
produce a different average vibration emission.
We recommend that a specific evaluation of the vibration emission is conducted
prior to commencing with a specialist task.
A health and safety assessment by the user (or employer) will need to be
carried out to determine the suitable duration of use for each tool. NB:
Stated Vibration Emission values are type-test values and are intended to be
typical.
Whilst in use, the actual value will vary considerably from and depend on many
factors. Such factors include; the operator, the task and the inserted tool or
consumable.
NB: ensure that the length of leader hoses is sufficient to allow
unrestricted use, as this also helps to reduce vibration.
The state of maintenance of the tool itself is also an important factor, a
poorly maintained tool will also increase the risk of Hand Arm Vibration
Syndrome.
