NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) has been measured in accordance with a standard test method and
may be used for comparing one tool with another.
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
The vibration emission during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared
value(s) depending on the ways in which the tool is used especially what kind of workpiece is processed.
WARNING:
Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation
of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the
times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).
