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 being cut or drilled.
The tool being in good condition and well maintained The use the correct
accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp and in good condition. The

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 over the total working period.
Helping 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. Plan your work schedule to spread
any high vibration tool use across a number of days.
