The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in 

accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare 

one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING:

 The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications 

of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different 

accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may 

significantly 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 tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing 

the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working 

period.

   Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of 

vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, 

organisation of work patterns.
