ATTENTION!
Risk of noise.
The information below will enable the user of the machine to make a better evaluation of the hazard and risk.
●
Equivalent A-weighted Sound pressure level according to EN ISO 3746: 70.5 dB (A)
●
Uncertainty, K in decibels: 4.0 dB (A) according to EN ISO 4871
The emission levels are not necessarily safe working levels. 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 the 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 to
country.
