3.5 Noise
3.5.1 Reference standards
The measurements of noise emission were conducted according to the EN ISO 11202 for the
determination of sound pressure level at the operation positions. When the measured sound
pressure levels at the operation positions exceed 85dB(A), the measurements of sound power
levels were conducted according to EN ISO 3746.
3.5.2 Operating conditions
The operating conditions for noise measurement comply with AnnexA of ISO 7960:1995.
3.5.3 Testing results
NO LOAD LOAD
LWA 91.8 97
Position A 77.7 85.0
Position B 80.3 86.5LPA Position C 73.0 74.9
Associated uncertainty K = 4 dB
Note: Background noise of measurement surrounding is 65.0dB (A).
The figures quoted are emission levels and 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 workforce include the characteristics of the work room, the other sources of
noise etc. i.e. the number of machines and other adjacent processes. Also the permissible
exposure level can vary from country to country. This information, however, will enable the user of
the machine to make a better evaluation of the hazard and risk.”

Thru-sawing operations are those when the blade cuts completely through the work piece as in
ripping or crosscutting.;
2. ALWAYS HOLD THE WORK.
Always hold the work firmly against the miter gauge or fence;
3. ALWAYS USE A PUSHSTICK OR PUSH BLOCKS.
Push blocks or push sticks shall be used when cutting small workpieces and in
circumstances where it is necessary to push the workpiece against the fence;

Feed work into the blade against the direction of rotation;
9. NEVER.
Never use the fence as a cut-off gauge when you are cross-cutting;
10. NEVER.
Never attempt to free a stalled saw blade without first turning the saw OFF;
11. PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT.
To the rear and sides of the table saw for wide or long work pieces;
12. AVOID KICKBACKS.
Avoid kickbacks (work thrown back towards you) by keeping the blade sharp, by keeping the
rip fence parallel to the saw blade, by keeping the splitter and anti-kickback fingers and guard in
place and operating, by not releasing work before it is pushed all the way past the saw blade, and
by not ripping work that is twisted or warped or does not have a straight edge to guide along the
fence;
13. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS.
Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand to
move into the spinning blade;
14. BLADE REQUIREMENTS.
Only correctly sharpened saw blades manufactured in accordance with the requirements of
EN 847-1:2005 shall be used;
15. SPEED.
No saw blade shall be used where the maximum marked speed is lower than the maximum
rotational speed of the saw spindle;

Fig.2 Fig.3
If the workpieces is less then 120mm,you must use the push stick to prevent your
hands from getting too close to the saw blade.
Push block must be used to cut narrow workpieces and, when necessary, to push the
workpiece against the fence, a push block can be easily made by the operator as Fig.2 。
