NOTE
►
The noise emission levels and vibration values
specified in these instructions have been meas-
ured in accordance with the corresponding
standardised measuring procedure and can
be used to make equipment comparisons . The
noise emission levels and vibration values vary
depending on the use of the compressed air
tool and may be higher than the values speci-
fied in these instructions in some cases . It is
easy to underestimate the noise emission levels
and vibration values if the compressed air tool
is used regularly in this manner .
