The saw's noise is measured in accordance with DIN EN ISO 3744; 11/95, E Din EN 31201; 6/93, ISO 7960 Annex A; 2/95. The machine may exceed 85dB(A) at the workplace. In this case, noise protection measures need to be introduced for the user (ear-muffs).

Operation

Idle

speed

Sound pressure level LPA 104,4 dB(A) 97,3 dB(A)

Sound power level LWA 111,4 dB(A) 110,3 dB(A)

The quoted values are emission values and not necessarily reliable workplace values. Although there is a correlation between emission and immission levels it is impossible to draw any certain conclusions as to the need for additional precautions. Factors with a potential influence on the actual immission level

at the workplace include the duration of impact, the type of room, and other sources of noise etc., e.g. the number of machines and other neighbouring operations. Reliable workplace values may also vary from country to country. With this information the user should at least be able to make a better assessment of the dangers and risks involved."
