Noise emission values

Measured value for noise determined according to

ISO 15744:

• Sound pressure level LpA = 89,1 dB (A)
• Uncertainty KpA = 3 dB
• Sound power level LWA = 103,1 dB (A)
• Uncertainty KWA = 3 dB

WARNING!
The noise emission values given in these instructions have been measured according to a measurement method standardised in ISO 15744 and can be used for tool comparison. The noise emission values will vary according to the use of the air tool and may in some cases be higher than the values given in these instructions. Noise emission levels may be underestimated if the air tool is used regularly in such a manner.

NOTE
For an accurate estimation of the noise emission load during a specific working period, the times when the unit is switched off or running but not actually in use should also be taken into account.
This can significantly reduce the noise emission load over the entire working period.

Vibration emission value (declaration according to EN 12096)

• Total vibration value determined according to ISO 28927-7
• Vibrations*: ah = 5,98 m/s²
• Uncertainty: K = 2,3 m/s²
  Vibrations transmitted to the operator’s hands

WARNING!
The vibration level specified in these instructions has been measured according to a measurement method standardised in ISO 28927-7 and can be used for unit comparison. The specified vibration emission value can also be used for an introductory assessment of exposure.
Vibration emissions during actual use of the air tool may differ from the stated values depending on the way the air tool is used, in particular what type of workpiece is being machined and what accessory is being used.

The vibration load could be underestimated if the air tool is regularly used in such a way.

NOTE

Try to keep the load as low as possible. Exemplary measures to reduce the vibration load are:

The maintenance of the appliance according to this Instructions,wearing gloves when using the tool,limiting working time or planning your work steps so that you do not have to use highly vibrating equipment for days on end.
All parts of the operating cycle must be taken into account (for example, times when the air tool is switched off and those when it is switched on but running without load).
