DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY When disposing of this product, ensure it is disposed of according to all local ordinances. It must not be disposed of with general household waste.
VIBRATION EMISSIONS HAND-ARM VIBRATION Employers are advised to refer to the HSE publication “Guide for Employers”. All hand held power tools vibrate to some extent, and this vibration is transmitted to the operator via the handle, or hand used to steady the tool. Vibration from about 2 to 1500 hertz is potentially damaging and is most hazardous in the range from about 5 to 20 hertz.
VIBRATION EMISSIONS The uncertainty factor should also be taken into account when assessing a risk. The two figures ‘a’ and ‘K’may be added together and the resultant value used to assess the risk. It should be noted that if a tool is used under abnormal, or unusual conditions, then the vibration level could possibly increase significantly. Users must always take this into account and make their own risk assessment, using the graph above as a reference.
