K-value for sound pressure level is 2 dB(A). K-value for sound power level is 2 dB(A). K-value for vibration level is 2 m/s ^4 .

STIHL recommends that you wear hearing protection.

• Sound pressure level L_pA measured according to EN 50636-2-100: 80 dB(A)
• Sound power level L_wA measured according to EN 50636-2-100: 90 dB(A)
• Vibration level a_hv measured according to EN 50636-2-100, control handle: < 2.5 m/s ^2 .

The vibration values quoted above have been measured according to a standardized test procedure and may be used to compare electric power tools. Depending on the type of usage, the vibrations that actually occur may differ from the values quoted. The vibration values quoted may be used for an initial assessment of the user's exposure to vibrations. The actual exposure to vibrations has to be estimated. This process may also take into account times during which the electric power tool is switched off and times during which it is switched on but running off load.
