What is Bosch doing to protect the operator?

Bosch have been manufacturing a range of power tools for trade professionals for many years. Any power tool that is hand-held should be as low in vibration as practicable, since high levels of vibration are not only unpleasant, but are a significant risk to health and safety. All Bosch electric motors are dynamically balanced by computer, with counterbalance weights in many of our products to ensure the smoothest operation. Bosch first addressed the HAV issue as early as 2001 with the introduction of “Vibration Control” handles for angle grinders. Since then our SDS-Max hammer range has featured vibration reduction handles, and we continue to innovate and develop new ideas in this important area. We continue to strive to increase the performance of our power tools and accessories in order to improve productivity for our users and reduce trigger times and therefore reduce exposure to HAV.
