WARNING
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in
EN 60 745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
GB
The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for dierent applications, with
dierent accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may dier. This may signicantly 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 o or when it is running
but not actually doing the job. This may signicantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the eects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep
the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.
WARNING!
When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide.
