Characteristics noise values

Use of the machine as log saw for firewood with standard saw blade.

	Noise power level	Sound pressure level at the workplace
Load	L_WA = 115 dB(A)	L_PA = 96 dB(A)

The factor of measurement uncertainty is 4 dB.

The values given are emission values and must therefore not simultaneously represent safe workplace values too. Although there is a relationship between emission and immersion levels, it can be reliably deduced whether additional precautionary measures are necessary or not. Factors, which can influence the immersion level currently existing at the workplace include the duration of the effects, the special type of the workroom, other noise sources, etc. e.g. the number of machines and other adjacent processes. The permissible workplace values can also vary from country to country. This information should however enable an improved assessment of the danger and risk to be carried out.

Operating times

Before initiating the device please observe the provisions pertaining to corresponding laws (regional provisions) for the noise control.
