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 www.hse.gov.uk
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN 60745:
Typical weighted vibration
Vibration emission value: a
h
=6.0m/s
2
Uncertainty K=1.5m/s²
The declared vibration total value may be used for comparing one tool with another, and
may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING: The vibration emission value during actual use of the power tool can
differ 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.
The tightness of the grip on the handles and if any anti vibration accessories are used.
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: T
o be accurate, an estimation of exposure level in the actual conditions of
use should also take account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when
the tool is switched off and when it is running idle but not actually doing the job. This may
significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Helping to minimise your vibration exposure risk.
ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades
Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated (where
appropriate)
If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti vibration accessories.
Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10
o
C 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.
