The declared vibration emission value should be used as a minimum level and should be used
with the current guidance on vibration.
Calculating the actual period of the actual period off use can be difficult and the HSE website has
further information.
The declared vibration emission been measured in accordance with a standardised test stated
above and may be used to compare one tool with another
The declared vibration emission value 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.
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 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:
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).Note The use of other tools will reduce the users’ total working period on this tool.
Helping to minimise your vibration exposure risk.
ALWAYS use sharp blades.
Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated (where
appropriate).
Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10ºC 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.
Double insulation:
The tool is double insulated. This means that all the external metal parts are electrically insulated
from the mains power supply. This is done by placing insulation barriers between the electrical and
mechanical components making it unnecessary for the tool to be earthed.
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN 60745:
Vibration emission value ah = 2.992m/s²
Uncertainty K = 1.5m/s²
