Whilst there is a correlation between the emission and exposure levels, this cannot
be used reliably to determine whether or not further precautions are required.
Factors that influence the actual level of exposure of work-force include the
characteristics of the work room, the other sources of noise, etc. i.e. the number of
machines and other adjacent processes, and the length of time for which an
operator is exposed to the noise. Also the permissible exposure level can vary from
country. This information, however, will enable the user of the machine to make a
better evaluation of the hazard and risk.
VIBRATION
The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive has been brought in to help
reduce hand arm vibration syndrome injuries to power tool users. The directive
requires power tool manufacturers and suppliers to provide indicative vibration
test results to enable users to make informed decisions as to the period of time a
power tool can be used safely on a daily basis and the choice of tool.
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN 62841:
Planing Level of vibration mode sanding a
h
= 4,7 m/s
2
Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s
2
The declared vibration emission value should be used as a minimum level and
should be used with the current guidance on vibration.
The declared vibration emission been measured in accordance with a standardised
test stated above and may be used to compare one tool with another tool. The
declared vibration emission value may also be used in a preliminary assessment of
exposure.
WARNING!
The vibration emission value during actual use of the power tool can differ from the
declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used dependent on the
following examples and other variations on how the tool is used.
- How the tool is being used and the materials being cutting.
- The tool being in good condition and well maintained.
- The use the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp and in good
condition.
