An allowance must be made to compensate for toleran-
ces with the specified emission values K= 4 dB (A).
4.7 Noise emission
The specified values are emission values and therefore
do not represent safe workplace values. Even though
a relationship exists between particle emission and
noise emission levels, an inference cannot be made
about whether additional safety measures need to
be implemented. Factors which can significantly
affect the emission level that presently exists at the
workplace include duration of the effect, characteristics
of the workspace, and other ambient influences. The
permissible workplace values may also differ from
country to country. Nevertheless, this information is
provided to help the operator better assess hazards
and risks. Depending on the
location of the machine and other specific conditions, the
actual noise emission values may deviate significantly
from the specified values.
Note:
In order to keep noise emission to a minimum, be sure to always use sharpened planer knives.
Ear protection must always be worn; however, such
protection cannot be considered a substitute for properly
sharpened tools.
