Nameplate
The Hammer Jet is provided with a name plate according to the requirements stated in the Directive
2006/42/EC placed on the “End Blinder” plate next to the charging port.
The nameplate is showing the CE and EAC (Russia) symbol as well as the website of the manufacturing
company (for contact information etc).
The nameplate is also showing some important product information such as:
x
TYPE: Model number of the product
x
S/N: Serial number, a unique product number
x
Year: Year of manufacturing
x
LWA: Sound level in dB at less than 1m distance from the noise source.
The Hammer Jet has an A-weighed max sound power level of 108 dBA around the machine and
103 dBA at
the operators’ position
, at its max performance. The LWA is here not directly related to an environmental
noise level as weighted average of the different work steps during machine operation. It is the maximum
sound pressure which the operator will experience when using the machine at 100% performance level.
This choice of LWA was made to ensure proper health protection even when the machine is used above its
intended use.
When persons are exposed to excessively loud
environments (85 dB or more), hearing protection
is required to prevent noise-induced hearing losses.
The table to the left is showing the acceptable
noise levels without hearing protection during a
maximum daily exposure.
It is required that the operator of the Hammer Jet is using relevant hearing protection to prevent work
induced hearing losses.
