VIBRATION
The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive has been brought in to help re-
duce hand arm vibration syndrome injuries to power tool users. The directive requires
power tool manufacturers and suppliers to provide indicative vibration test results to
enable users to make informed decisions as to the period of time a power tool can be
used safely on a daily basis and the choice of tool.
Further Advice can be found at www.hse.gov.uk
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN 60745:
Work mode description 1
Vibration emission value ah = 5.73 m/s²
Uncertainty K = 1.5m/s²
The declared vibration emission value should be used as a minimum level and should
be used with the current guidance on vibration.
Calculating the actual period of the actual period off use can be difficult and the HSE
website has further information.
The declared vibration emission been measured in accordance with a standardised
test stated above and may be used to compare one tool with another
The declared vibration emission value 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 condi-
tion.
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:
identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an
estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts
of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is
running idle in addition to the trigger time).Note The use of other tools will reduce the
users’ total working period on this tool.
Helping to minimise 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)
