2.1 Precautions

WARNING!
Campagnola S.r.l. declines all responsibilities if the precautions below are not taken.
•
The compliance with the working environment safety and health regulations indicated by the current laws (2003/10/CE
Directive, 2002/44/CE Directive) have to be carried out either by the employer or by the end-user: adequate individual
protecting devices, information about the safety risks, sanitary survey, etc...
•
The over-exposure to the vibrations may cause neuro-vascular lesions to people suffering from circulatory disorders. In
case of symptoms, which could be due to such an over-exposure, a specialist has to be contacted. These symptoms can
be torpor, loss of sensitivity, sharp pains, itch, strength reduction or loss, complexion decolouration or structural
modifications. This usually happens in one‟s hands, wrists and fingers.

2.1.1 Results of the tests made according to the Laws referring to the exposure to noise and vibrations

1) SOUND LEVEL
Continuous A-weighted sound pressure level at the operator‟s ear (LpA) and sound power level of the product (LwA), both
calculated according to the UNI EN ISO 22868 rules:
2) VIBRATIONS LEVEL
Average hand-transmitted vibration value in frequency the user is exposed to, measured in compliance with the
UNI EN ISO 22867 rules:
