Noise and Vibration

Sound and vibration levels in the specification are determined according to ISO 28927-3. The figures
given can be used to compare similar tools tested to this standard. These figures may be used to assess
exposure to noise and vibration levels.
The figures represent normal use for the tool in normal working condition. A poorly maintained,
incorrectly assembled or misused tool may produce increased levels of noise and vibration. The total
working period that you can operate this tool must factor in periods where the tool is idle or switched
off. Allow frequent rest breaks when operating this tool.
It is in the interest of users to maximise their safety using the correct safety equipment, like ear
defenders that protect against loud or repetitive noise, and anti-vibration gloves that minimise
vibration. Do not operate the tool with your hands below a normal comfortable temperature, as
vibration will have a greater effect.
Sound
The noise directive was introduced to protect against the risk to health and safety arising or likely to
arise from exposure to noise and risk of hearing. The Directive can be used to define noise exposure and
the physical parameters, such as peak sound pressure and daily and weekly exposure level. Particular
attention should be taken to exposure level and duration.
For more information on the Noise Directives 2003/10/EC and 2000/14/EC, please visit The European
Agency for Safety and Health at work -

Vibration
The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive 2002/44/EC was introduced to control the exposure
of vibration at work. The Directive enables users of tools to make informed decisions on the amount of
time spent working. Those who regularly operate high vibration equipment over a sustained period of
time are at a higher risk of health problems. ISO 28927-3 measures vibration in three directions which is
known as tri-axial or vector sum measurement. When operating high vibration equipment, ensure not
to exceed exposure levels. For more details on The Vibration Directive 2002/44/EC please visit The
European Agency for Safety and Health at work
