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
 Proper condition of the machine for use
 Is the sharpness of the cutting blade in order or the cutting
blade correctly installed?
 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.
The extent of exposure depending on the type of work or
machine use should be estimated and appropriate breaks
taken. In this way, the extent of exposure can be considerably
reduced over the entire work time. Minimise the risk caused by
vibrations. Maintain this machine according to the instructions
in the manual. If you intend to use this machine frequently,
contact your local authorised dealer and purchase anti-vibration
accessories if required. Avoid the use of this machine at
temperatures under 10°C. Create a work schedule in order to
minimise vibration exposure.
