When assessing vibration exposure to determine safety
measures required by 2002/44/EC to protect persons regularly
using power tools in employment, an estimation of vibration
exposure should consider, the actual conditions of use and the
way the tool is used, including 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.

employ with a normal hand saw. This enables a quicker
and cleaner cut.
Hints for optimum use
Sawing wood
u Clamp the workpiece securely and remove all nails and
metal objects.
u When splintering is to be minimised, e.g. when cutting
laminates, clamp a piece of scrap wood or hardboard to
both sides of the workpiece and saw through this sandwich.
Sawing metal
u Be aware that sawing metal takes much more time than
sawing wood.
u Use a saw blade suitable for sawing metal. Use a ne-
tooth saw blade for ferrous metals and a coarser saw
blade for nonferrous metals.
u When cutting thin sheet metal, clamp a piece of scrap
wood to the back surface of the workpiece and cut through
this sandwich.
u Spread a lm of oil along the intended line of cut.
Cutting branches
u Cut downward and away from your body.
u Make the cut close to the main branch or tree body.
