Information on noise and vibration

The noise emission level of the equipment is described by: the emitted sound pressure level Lp and the sound power level Lw (where K denotes measurement uncertainty). The vibrations emitted by the equipment are described by the vibration acceleration value a h (where K is the measurement uncertainty).

The sound pressure level Lpa, the sound power level Lwand the vibration acceleration value an specified in these instructions were measured in accordance with EN 60335-2-77:2010. The specified vibration level can be used for comparison of equipment and for preliminary assessment of vibration exposure.

The vibration level quoted is only representative of the basic use of the unit. If the unit is used for other applications or with other work tools, the vibration level may change. Higher vibration levels will be influenced by insufficient or too infrequent maintenance of the unit. The reasons given above may result in increased vibration exposure during the entire working period.

In order to accurately estimate vibration exposure, it is necessary to take into account periods when the device is switched off or when it is switched on but not used for work. When all factors are accurately estimated, the total vibration exposure may be significantly lower.

In order to protect the user from the effects of vibration, additional safety measures should be implemented, such as cyclical maintenance of the machine and working tools, securing an adequate hand temperature and proper work organisation.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
