A precise estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should also take in account the times when
the machine is switched off or even running, but not actually in use. This may significantly decrease the
exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration and noise such as:
proper and regular maintenance of the machine and the accessories, keeping the hands warm, provision of
proper ear protection and organization of work patterns for example by using rotation schedules. The use of
anti-vibration gloves could also decrease the effects of the vibrations transmitted.
Always use ear protection when working with this machine.
Because the value is above 2,5 m/s², we recommend taking measures to decrease hand-arm vibrations.
Original operating instructions are in the English language, any other language will be a translation of the
original.
Old equipment contains valuable materials which are valuable for re-processing.
The machine parts must
not be thrown
away in the normal household waste,
but should be disposed of at a suitable proper
collection system, e. g. via your communal disposal location. This way the materials can be re-used in an
environmentally responsible manner.
