Measured values were determined according to EN 12649.

Noise Information:

Typically, the A-weighted noise levels of the tool are:

Sound pressure level / Uncertainty K: 82.5 dB(A) / 3 dB(A)

Sound power level / Uncertainty K: Not specified

Wear ear protectors.

Vibration Information:

Total vibration values (vector sum in the three axes) determined according to EN 62841.

Vibration emission value a / Uncertainty K: 0.37 m/s² / 1.5 m/s²

The vibration and noise emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 62841 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The declared vibration and noise emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period. An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration and/or noise such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.
