Vaibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) determined
according to EN60745-2-2:
Work mode: impact tightening of fasteners of the
maximum capacity of the tool
Vibration emission (a
Uncertainty (K): 3.0 m/s
• The declared vibration emission value has been mea-
sured in accordance with the standard test method and
may be used for comparing one tool with another.
• The declared vibration emission value may also be
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
• The vibration emission during actual use of the power
tool can differ from the declared emission value
depending on the ways in which the tool is used.
• Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the oper-
ator 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).
