WARNING
Always wear ear protection where the sound level exceeds 85dB(A) and limit the
time of exposure if necessary. If sound levels are uncomfortable, even with ear
protection, stop using the tool immediately and check the ear protection is correctly
fitted and provides the correct level of sound attenuation for the level of sound
produced by your tool.
WARNING
User exposure to tool vibration can result in loss of sense of touch, numbness,
tingling and reduced ability to grip. Long term exposure can lead to a chronic
condition. If necessary, limit the length of time exposed to vibration and use
anti-vibration gloves. Do not operate the tool with hands below a normal comfortable
temperature, as vibration will have a greater effect. Use the figures provided in the
specification relating to vibration to calculate the duration and frequency of operating
the tool.
Sound and vibration levels in the specification are determined according to EN60745
or similar international standards. The figures represent normal use for the tool in
normal working conditions. A poorly maintained, incorrectly assembled, or misused
tool may produce increased levels of noise and vibration. www.osha.europa.eu
provides information on sound and vibration levels in the workplace that may be
useful to domestic users who use tools for long periods of time.
