Noise Emission / Vibration
The indication of noise emission is measured according to DIN 45 635, part
21. The level of acoustic pressure on the work place could exceed 85 dB (A);
in this case protection measures must be taken.
Wear ear protectors!
The typical hand-arm vibration is below 2.5 m/s².
Measured values determined according to EN 60 745.
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been
measured in accordance with a standardized test given in EN 60745 and
may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a
preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the
tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different
accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This
may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into
account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not
actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level 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.
Dust Protection
Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some wood species,
minerals and metal may be harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust
may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the operator or
bystanders.
Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic such as oak and beech
dust especially in conjunction with additives for wood conditioning (chromate,
wood preservative). Material containing asbestos must only be treated by
specialists.
Where the use of a dust extraction device is possible it shall be used.
To achieve a high level of dust collection, use industrial vacuum cleaner
DSS 25 M / DSS 35 M iP for wood and/or minerals together with this
tool.
The work place must be well ventilated. The use of dust mask of filter
class P2 is recommendend.
