The specified emissions values (vibration, noise)
– are used to compare machines.
– They are also used for making preliminary esti-
mates regarding vibration and noise loads during
operation.
– They represent the primary applications of the
power tool.
Increase possible for other applications, with other
insertion tools or if not maintained adequately. Take
note of idling and downtimes of machine!
