Noise emission
Notes concerning noise emission
Given that there exists a relationship between noise level and exposure times, it is
not precise enough to determine the need for supplementary precautions. The
factors affecting the true level of exposure to operators are clearly the amount of
time exposed, the characteristics of working environment other sources of dust and
noise etc. For example, adjacent machines in other words the level of ambient
noise. It is possible that exposure level limits will vary from country to country.

Introduction to jointer.
The jointer is
designed to give you years of safe service. Read this owner’s manual
in its entirety before assembly or use.
The jointer is generally defined as a machine that cuts planks of wood flat, and
smooth. The machine achieves this by the plank being pushed along a flat table,
and passing the plank over a revolving cutter head.
There are many types of cutter head, and this machine uses an inserted cutter type.
The insert cutters main advantage is to reduce tear out of the grain, but the finish is
not as smooth as the parallel blade system. It is well within the capabilities of a belt
sander to give a professional finish to the jointed plank.
The parallel blade system, gives a finish without the lines that the insert cutter
system gives, but, is susceptible to tear out, especially on planks with knots. On
balance, it is better to use a machine with the insert cutters than the parallel blades,
as it greatly reduces the risks of having to scrap valuable wood, or spending
excessive time sanding tear out marks.
