• Blunt edges can be resharpened on the clamping surface to a minimum cutting edge thickness of 1mm .
• Only transport the tool in suitable packaging - risk of injury!

2.4 Emission levels

The levels determined in accordance with EN 62841 are typically:

Sound pressure level L

$$ \mathrm {p} _ {\mathrm {A}} = 8 0 \mathrm {d B} (\mathrm {A}) $$

Sound power level L

$$ \mathrm {w} _ {\mathrm {A}} = 9 1 \mathrm {d B} (\mathrm {A}) $$

Uncertainty K =

$$ 1, 5 \mathrm {d B} $$

CAUTION

Noise generated when working Risk of damage to hearing

Use ear protection.

Vibration emission level a_h (vector sum for three directions) and uncertainty K measured in accordance with EN 62841:

$$ a _ {h} < 2. 5 \mathrm {m} / \mathrm {s} ^ {2} $$

$$ K = 1. 5 \mathrm {m} / \mathrm {s} ^ {2} $$

The specified emission levels (vibration, noise) - are used to compare machines.

• They are also used for making preliminary estimates regarding vibration and noise load during operation.
• They represent the primary applications of the power tool.

CAUTION

The emission values may deviate from the specified values. This is dependent on how the tool is used and the type of workpiece being machined.

The actual load during the entire operating cycle must be evaluated.
Depending on the actual load, suitable protective measures must be defined in order to protect the operator.
