experience, have sufficient expertise in the field of fastener driving tools
and
sufficient familiarity with relevant govemmental industrial
protection provisions,
accident prevention regulations, directives and
generally recognized technical
regulations(e.g. CEN-and CENELEC-standards), to be able to assess the safe
working condition of fastener driving tools.
2.2 Noise emission
The characteristic noise values for the fastener driving tool have been
determined in accordance with EN12549:1999 and EN ISO4871"
Acoustics-Noise test code for fastener driving tools-Engineering method" (see
Technical Data).
These values are tool-related characteristic values and do not represent the
noise development at the point of use. Noise development at the point of use will
for example depend on the working environment, the workpiece, the work piece
support and the number of driving operations, etc.
Depending in the conditions at the workplace and the form of the workplace,
individual noise attenuation measures may need to be carried out, such as
placing work pieces on sound-damping supports, preventing work piece vibration
by means of clamping or covering, adjusting to the minimum air pressure
required for the operation involved, etc, It is necessary to wear hearing
protection equipment.
2.3 Information on mechanical impact (vibration)
The characteristic vibration values for the fastener driving tool have been
determined in accordance with ISO 8662- 11:1999 and EN 12096 –
Measurement of vibration in hand-held power tools – Part 11:Fastener driving
tools (see Technical Data).
This value is a tool-related characteristic value and does not represent the
influence to the hand-arm-system when using the tool. An influence to the
hand-arm-system when using the tool will for example depend on the gripping
force, the contact pressure force, the working direction, the adjustment of energy
supply, the workplace, the work piece support.
