Noise/vibration information
Measured values were determined according to EN 50636-2-100 Annex CC.
Typically, the A-weighted noise levels of the product are:
| Sound pressure level Lp (at operator’s ear) | 83 dB(A) |
|---|---|
| Uncertainty K = | 3 dB(A) |
| Sound power level LWA+KWA | 97 dB(A) |
| Uncertainty K = | 1 dB(A) |
Wear ear protectors!
Total vibration values (vector sum in the three axes) are determined according
to EN 50636-2-100 Annex BB.
| Handle vibration | ≤ 2.5 m/s² |
|---|---|
| Uncertainty K = | 1.5 m/s² |
WARNING!
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured
in accordance with a standardized test given in EN 50636-2-100 Annex BB and
may be used to compare one product with another. It may be used for a
preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the
product. However, if the product is used for different applications, with
different accessories, or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may
differ. This may signifi cantly increase the exposure level over the total
working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into
account the times when the product is switched off or when it is running but
not actually doing the job. This may signifi cantly reduce the exposure level
over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect
the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintaining the product
and the accessories, keeping the hands warm, and organization of work
patterns.
WARNING! Read these instructions carefully. Be familiar with the controls and the proper use of the product. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
