NOISE/VIBRATION
• Measured in accordance with EN 60745 the sound
pressure level of this tool is 88 dB(A) and the sound
power level 99 dB(A) (standard deviation: 3 dB), and the
vibration
✱
(hand-arm method; uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s²)
✱
when cutting wood 7.7 m/s²
✱
when cutting metal 12.0 m/s²
• The vibration emission level has been measured in
accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745; it
may be used to compare one tool with another and as a
preliminary assessment of exposure to vibration when
using the tool for the applications mentioned
- using the tool for different applications, or with different
or poorly maintainted accessories, may significantly
