18.5 Sound Values and Vibration
Values
The K-value for sound pressure levels is 2 dB(A).
K-value for sound power levels is 2 dB(A). K-
value for vibration level is 2 m/s².
STIHL recommends wearing ear defenders.
–
Sound pressure level L
pA
measured according
to EN 60745-2-13: 90 dB(A).
–
Sound power level L
wA
measured according to
EN 60745-2-13: 101 dB(A).
–
Vibration level a
hv
measured according to
EN 60745-2-13:
–
Control handle: 4.2 m/s². The K value for
the vibration level is 2 m/s².
–
Handlebar: 3.3 m/s².
The vibration levels indicated were measured
according to a standardized test method and can
be used as a basis for comparing electric power
tools. The vibration levels actually occurring may
vary from the values indicated, depending on the
type of application. The vibration levels indicated
can be used for an initial estimate of the vibration
stress. The actual vibration stress has to be esti‐
mated. The times when the electric power tool is
switched off and the times when it is switched on
but running under no load can be taken into
account in the estimate.
