These declared values were obtained by laboratory type testing
in accordance with the stated standards and are suitable for com-
parison with the declared values of other tools tested in accordance
with the same standards. These declared values are not adequate
for use in risk assessments and values measured in individual work
places may be higher. The actual exposure values and risk of harm
experienced by an individual user are unique and depend upon the
way the user works, the workpiece and the workstation design, as
well upon the exposure time and the physical condition of the user.
We, Desoutter, cannot be held liable for the consequences of
using the declared values, instead of values reflecting the actual
exposure, in an individual risk assessment in a work place situation
over which we have no control.
This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is
not adequately managed. An EU guide to managing hand-arm vi-
bration can be found at http://www.humanvibration.com/EU/VI-
BGUIDE.htm We recommend a programme of health surveillance
to detect early symptoms which may relate to noise or vibration
exposure,so that management procedures can be modified to help
prevent future impairment.
