Erbauer ERI692IPD, Original Instructions Manual

VIBRATION

The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive has been brought in to help reduce 

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:

Typical weighted vibration

Vibration emission value a

h

=12.1m/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 tool.

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 condition.

The tightness of the grip on the handles. 

And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions. 

While working with this power tool, hand/arm vibrations occur. Adopt the correct

working practices in order to reduce the exposure to vibration.

This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately 

managed.

Warning: 

I

dentify 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).

Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10ºC or less.

Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number of days.
