Note: The vibration measurement was made
under standard conditions in accordance with:
BS EN 61029-1:2009
The declared vibration total value has been
measured in accordance with a standard test
method and may be used for comparing one
tool with another.
The declared vibration total value may also be
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

VIBRATION
WARNING: When using this machine the
operator can be exposed to high levels of
vibration transmitted to the hand and arm.
It is possible that the operator could develop
"Vibration white finger disease" (Raynaud
syndrome). This condition can reduce the
sensitivity of the hand to temperature as well
as producing general numbness. Prolonged or
regular users of this machine should monitor
the condition of their hands and fingers closely.
If any of the symptoms become evident, seek
immediate medical advice.
exposure to hand-transmitted vibration in
the workplace is given in:
BS EN ISO 5349-1:2001 and
BS EN ISO 5349-2:2002
vibration level during operation e.g. the work
surfaces, condition and orientation and the
type and condition of the machine being
used. Before each use, such factors should be
assessed, and where possible, appropriate
working practices adopted. Managing
these factors can help reduce the effects of
vibration:

Handling
Handle the machine with care,
allowing the machine to do the work.
Avoid using excessive physical effort on any
of the machine's controls.
Consider your security and stability,
and the orientation of the machine during
use.
Work Surface
Consider the work surface material;
its condition, density, strength,
rigidity and orientation.
WARNING: The vibration emission during
actual use of the power tool can differ from
the declared total value depending on the
ways in which the tool is used. The need
to identify safety measures and to protect
the operator 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 the tool is switched
off, when it is running idle, in addition to
trigger time).
