ERBAUER 254MM (10”) DOUBLE BEVEL SLIDING MITRE SAW
VIBRATION
The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive has been brought in to help
reduce hand arm vibration syndrome injuries to power tool users. The directive
requires power tool manufacturers and suppliers to provide indicative vibration test
results to enable users to make informed decisions as to the period of time a power
tool can be used safely on a daily basis and the choice of tool.Further Advice can be
found at

Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN 61029
Test speciication; Standard = EN61029-1 2009.
Test prodcure GS mark.
Vibration emission value ah = 4.495m/s²
Uncertainty K = 2.5m/s²
The declared vibration emission value should be used as a minimum level should be used with
the current guidance on vibration.
Calculating the actual period of the actual period o use can be di cult and the HSE website
has further information.
The declared vibration emission been measured in accordance with a standardised test stated
above and may be used to compare one tool with another.
The declared vibration emission value may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING!
The vibration emission value during actual use of the power tool can di er
from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used
dependant on the following examples and other variations on how the tool is used:-
How the tool is used and the materials being cut or drilled.
The tool being in good condition and well maintained
The use the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp and in good condition.
And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions.
This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome
if its use is not adequately managed
WARNING!
identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an
estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts
of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched o and when it is
running idle in addition to the trigger time).Note The use of other tools will reduce the
users’ total working period on this tool. Helping to minimise your vibration exposure risk.
ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades. Maintain this tool in accordance with these instruc-
tions and keep well lubricated (where appropriate)
Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10C or less
Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number of days.
Health Surveillance
All employees should be part of an employer’s health surveillance scheme to help identity
any vibration related diseases at an early stage, prevent disease progression and
help employees stay in work.
