9.1 Noise emissions
The noise level was measured in compliance with the general rules for
establishment of noise and acoustic pollution of garden and agricultu-
ral equipment on work sites as well as with other national standards
for noise measurement.
The applicable measuring parameters were:
Measurement on the machine front edge at 1600 mm height and
400mm away from the blade on the right hand side, while processing
beech wood in the size of 80+/-5% of the admissible timber diameter
as per this instruction:
Idle (no load)
Max load/speed
Spessart 603
82 db(A)
96 db(A)
Spessart 701
82 db(A)
96 db(A)
Use of ears protectors is mandatory!
The above mentioned values are emission measurements and may not
be therefore assumed as for a safe work environment. Although there
is a relationship between noise emission and immission levels, this is
not a sufficient basis to determine the extent of on-site required pro-
tection. There are a lot of other factors that can influence site work
and risk of injuries and namely: the actual site/buildings configura-
tion, the concomitant presence of other noise sources (for instance
other machines performing other works in the neighbourhood) etc...
The factors applied for determining safety of a workplace may also ve-
ry from one country to the other. We are reporting here the noise va-
lues detected in the facility of the manufacturer on order to allow the
user performing a better evaluation of the possible risk/disturbance.
