Information on noise and vibration The level of noise emitted by the device is described by: the level of the emitted sound pressure Lp

and the sound power level Lw

(where K is the measurement uncertainty). The vibrations emitted by the device are described by the value of the vibration acceleration a

(where K is the measurement uncertainty). The following information: emitted sound pressure level Lp

and the value of vibration acceleration a

were measured in accordance with Directive 2000/14 / EC on noise emission into the environment. The given vibration level a

can be used to compare devices and for a preliminary assessment of vibration exposure. The stated vibration level is representative only for the basic use of the device. If the machine is used for different applications or with different work tools, the vibration level may change. The higher vibration level will be influenced by insufficient or too rare maintenance of the device. The reasons given above may result in an increased exposure to vibration during the entire period of operation. To accurately estimate exposure to vibration, consider periods when the equipment is turned off or when it is turned on but not in use. After all factors have been carefully assessed, the overall vibration exposure may be significantly lower. In order to protect the user against the effects of vibrations, additional safety measures should be implemented, such as: periodic maintenance of the device and working tools, protection of the appropriate temperature of hands and proper organization of work.
