Emission Levels
5.3.1
Noise Information
The values given are emission levels and therefore do not necessarily represent safe workplace values. Alt-
hough there is a correlation between emission and immission levels, it cannot be reliably deduced whether
additional precautionary measures are necessary or not.
Factors that may affect the current immission level at the workplace include the duration of exposure, the
nature of the workspace, other noise sources, etc., e.g. the number of machines and other activities in the
vicinity. The permissible workplace values can also vary from country to country.
However, this information should enable the user to make a better assessment of hazard and risk.
5.3.2
Noise Emission Values
Explanation of noise emission
Weighted level: Noise pressure in idle state
L
pfA
= 82 dB
Uncertainty: K = 2 dB
Weighted level of noise power at the workplace
Planer & Jointer: L
wA
= 111 dB
Thicknesser: L
wA
= 110 dB
Uncertainty: K = 2 dB at error limit interval 95 %
The workplace-related noise emission values of the machine exceed 85 dB(A)!
Therefore, suitable hearing protection must be provided to the personnel!

Workplace Requirements
The effective space requirement usually depends on the dimensions of the machine and the dimensions of the
workpieces to be processed. In general, provide sufficient space around the machine and also calculate the
required workplace for the operating, maintenance and auxiliary personnel as well as for the infeed and out-
feed of the workpieces.
•
Choose a suitable place for the ma-
chine and consider the working are-
as shown in the figure for thickness-
ing as well as for planing & jointing.
•
Consider the existing hazardous
areas (refer to section
•
The chosen location must guarantee
a suitable connection to the mains
supply and to the extraction system.
•
Make sure that the floor can support
the load of the machine.
Figure 5: Working areas
•
The machine must be levelled with a machine spirit level.
•
A clearance of at least 0.8 m must be ensured around the machine.
•
Sufficient space must be ensured for the feeding of large and long workpieces.
•
Sufficient lighting (min. 500 lux) must be ensured. The lighting must not dazzle and a stroboscopic effect
must be avoided.
