  Only for EU countries 

Do not dispose of electric equipment or 
battery pack together with household 
waste material! 
In observance of European Directive 
2012/19/EU on waste electric and 
electronic equipment, 2006/66/EC on 
batteries and accumulators and waste 
batteries and accumulators and their 
implementation in accordance with 
national laws, electric equipment and

Intended use

 

The tool is intended for performing lengthways and 
crossways straight cuts and mitre cuts with angles in 
wood while in firm contact with the workpiece. 

ENG905-1 

Noise

 

The typical A-weighted noise level determined 
according to EN60745: 

     

Model BSS500 

     

Sound pressure level (L

pA

) : 75 dB (A) 

Uncertainty (K) : 3 dB (A) 

The noise level under working may exceed 80 dB (A). 

 
 
 
 
 
 

     

Model BSS501 

     

Sound pressure level (L

pA

) : 76 dB (A) 

Uncertainty (K) : 3 dB (A) 

The noise level under working may exceed 80 dB (A). 

     

Wear ear protection

 

 

ENG900-1 

Vibration 

The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) 
determined according to EN60745: 

     

Work mode : cutting wood 
Vibration emission (a

h,W

) : 2.5 m/s

2

 or less 

Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s

ENG901-1 

• 

The declared vibration emission value has been 
measured in accordance with the standard test 
method and may be used for comparing one tool 
with another. 

• 

The declared vibration emission value may also be 
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure. 

 

WARNING: 

• 

The vibration emission during actual use of the 
power tool can differ from the declared emission 
value depending on the ways in which the tool is 
used. 

• 

Be sure to 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 off and when it 
is running idle in addition to the trigger time).
