any of which could be caught by the rotating parts of the
machine.
• Wear protective goggles to protect your eyes from oil spatter and, most importantly,
from any metal turnings which are thrown up. In the case of oil spatter, wash your
eyes copiously with water and consult an ophthalmic doctor if you experience any
problems with your vision. If a metal turning is thrown up, do not try to remove it or
have it removed by anyone else but consult a specialist service immediately.
It is essential to wear a helmet with ear defenders.

Acoustic pressure at the user’s ears: LpA = 88 dB(A) K=5 dB(A)
Acoustic power level: LwA = 99 dB(A) K=5 dB(A)

internal edges of the pipe, ships…
• Wear gloves for handling metal turnings:
these can cause bad, fine and deep cuts.
