NOISE DATA

VIBRATION INFORMATION

Typical weighted vibration: ah = 1.96m/s2 Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s²

The declared vibration total value may be used for comparing one tool with another, and may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING: The vibration emission value during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used dependant on the following examples and other variations on how the tool is used:
How the tool is used and the materials is cut or drilled.
The tool is in good condition and well-maintained.
Use the correct accessory for the tool and ensure it is sharp and in good condition.
The tightness of the grip on the handles and any anti-vibration accessories are used.
And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions.
This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately managed.

WARNING: To be accurate, an estimation of exposure level in the actual conditions of use should also take account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Help to minimize your vibration exposure risk.
ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills, and blades.
Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated (where appropriate).
If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti-vibration accessories.
Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10 C or less.
Plan your work schedule to spread any high-vibration tool use across a number of days.
