WARNING! — Risk of Hand Arm Vibration Injury.
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): 1.213 mis*
Uncertainty value (k): 1.5 ms:
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 Whilstin use, the actual value will vary considerably from and depend on many factors Such factors include; the operator, the task or consumable.
The state of maintenance of the tool itself is also an important factor, a poorly maintained tool will also increase the risk of Hand Am Vibration Syndrome.
Health surveillance.
We recommend a programme of health surveillance to detect early symptoms of vibration injury so that management procedures can be modified accordingly.
The declared vibration total value(s) and the declared noise emission value(s) have been measured in accordance with a standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
The declared vibration total values and the declared noise emission values may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The vibration and noise emissions during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared values depending on the ways in which the tool is used, especially what kind of workpiece is processed
The need to identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual condition of use.
Personal protective equipment.
