WARNING: The vibration emission level will vary because of the ways in which a power tool can be used and may increase above the level given in this information sheet.

The vibration emission level may be used to compare one tool with another.

It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.

An accurate estimate of the vibratory load should also take into account the times when the tool is shut down or when it is running but not actually in use. This may significantly reduce the vibratory load 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.

Read and understand the operating instructions before using the appliance. Familiarise with the

control elements and how to use the appliance properly. Abide by all the safety measures stated in the service manual. Act responsibly toward third parties.
