The indicated vibration emission level has been measured
according to a standardised test method and can be used to
compare power tools.
It can also be used for an initial estimate of exposure.
Warning!
The vibration emission level can differ from the indicated value
during actual use of the power tool depending on the manner
of usage.
It is necessary to define safety measures to protect the
operator that are based on an estimate of exposure at the
actual conditions of usage (for this, all parts of the operation
cycle have to be considered, e.g. times during which the power
tool is cut off and times during which it is switched on but runs
in no-load mode).
