with a standardised test given in EN 50636-2-91 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.
