Sound and vibration

Sound and vibration values were measured in accordance with EN 60745.

L_pA sound pressure level 78.1 dB(A)

K_pA uncertainty 3 dB

L_WA sound power level 89.1 dB(A)

K_WA uncertainty 3 dB

Wear ear-muff s.

The impact of noise can cause damage to hearing.

Total vibration values (vector sum of three directions) determined in accordance with EN 60745.

Vibration emission value a_h = 9.521 m/s^2

K uncertainty = 1.5 m/s ^2

The specific vibration value was established in accordance with a standardized testing method. It may change according to how the electric equipment is used and may exceed the specific value in exceptional circumstances.

The specified vibration value can be used to compare the equipment with other electric power tools.

The specified vibration value can be used for initial assessment of a harmful effect.

Keep the noise emissions and vibrations to a minimum.

• Only use appliances which are in perfect working order.
  • Service and clean the appliance regularly.
  • Adapt your working style to suit the appliance.
  • Do not overload the appliance.
• Have the appliance serviced whenever necessary.
