English (original instructions)
The vibration emission level given in this information 
sheet has been measured in accordance with a 
standardised test given in EN50636-2-91:2014 and 
may be used to compare one tool with another. 
It may be used for a preliminary assessment of 
exposure.
     
WARNING: 
The declared vibration 
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 emission may differ. This may 
significantly increase the exposure level 
over the total working period.
     An estimation of the level of exposure to 
vibration 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 such as: maintain the tool and 
the accessories, keep the hands warm, 
organisation of work patterns.
