Vibrations

Hand arm vibration Front /rear a
The indicated vibration emission level has been measured
according to a standardised test method and can be used to
compare power tools.
It can also be used for an initial estimate of the vibration
exposure.
The actual vibration emission level during the use of the
machine may differ from that indicated in the operating
instructions or indicated by the manufacturer.
This may be caused by the following factors to be minded
before and during the use:
 Proper use of the machine
 Correct cutting or machining of material
 Proper condition of the machine for use
 Use of the correct and sharp cutting tool
 Handles and optional anti-vibration handles properly
mounted on the machine body
When you feel uncomfortable or notice discoloration of skin on
your hands during the use of the machine, stop working
immediately. Observe sufficient break times to rest. Failure to
have sufficient break times may result in a hand-arm vibration
syndrome.
