The declared vibration value has been measured in accordance with a standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with another. The declared vibration value may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING! The vibration emission value during actual use of the tool can differ from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used. Identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use
(taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).
The sound intensity level for the operator may exceed 85dB(A) and ear protection measures are necessary.
Recycling and disposal

Recycling and disposal
Recycle unwanted materials instead of disposing of them as waste. All tools, hoses and pack aging should be sorted, taken to the local recycling centre and disposed of in an environmen tally safe way.
Recycle rather than dispose of unwanted material in landfill whenever possible. The machine must be delivered in rigid packaging to avoid damage during transportation. The packaging and the machine itself are manufactured from recyclable materials and should be disposed of accordingly.
Only dispose of electrical/electronic/battery terms in separate collection schemes, which cater for the recovery and recycling of materials contained within. Your cooperation is vital to ensure the success of these schemes and for the protection of the environment.
Recycle packaging where facilities exist.
