power level 99 dB(A) (standard deviation: 3 dB), and the
vibration . (triax vector sum; uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s²)
. when cutting chipboard 17.7 m/s²
. when cutting wooden beams 12.3 m/s²
. when cutting metal 18.8 m/s²
• The vibration emission level has been measured in
accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745;
it may be used to compare one tool with another and as
a preliminary assessment of exposure to vibration when
using the tool for the applications mentioned
- using the tool for different applications, or with different
