2.7 Emissions
The generation of noise emitted by the metal belt saw is less than 78 dB(A).
INFORMATION
This numerical value was measured on a new machine under proper operating conditions.
Depending on the age respectively on the wear of the machine it is possible that the noise
behaviour of the machine changes.
Furthermore, the factor of the noise emission is also depending on manufacturing influencing
factors, e.g. speed, material and clamping conditions.
INFORMATION
The mentioned numerical value is an emission level and not necessarily a safe working level.
Though there is a dependency between the degree of the noise emission and the degree of the
noise disturbance it is not possible to use it reliably to determine if further precaution measures
are required or not.
The following factors influence the actual degree of the noise exposure of the operator:
Characteristics of the working area, e.g. size or damping behaviour,
Other noise sources, e.g. the number of machines,
Other processes taking place in the proximity and the period of time during which the oper-
ator is exposed to the noise.
Furthermore, it is possible that the admissible exposure level might be different from country to
country due to national regulations.
This information about the noise emission shall allow the operator of the machine to more eas-
ily evaluate the endangering and risks.
CAUTION!
Depending on the overall noise exposure and the basic limit values the machine
operators must wear an appropriate hearing protection.
We generally recommend to use a noise protection and a hearing protection.

4.2 Unpacking and cleaning
ATTENTION!
Please check immediately after receipt of the machine if it shows any transport
damages. If this is the case, immediately inform the corresponding carrier and the
specialized dealer.
In order to protect the machine against corrosion, protective waxes and protective greases had
been applied to all blank parts of the machine by the manufacturer. Clean the machine before
the first commissioning with an appropriate, environmental-friendly cleaning agent (we recom-
mendyou to clean the machine using kerosene). Do not use any solvents, cellulose thinner or
any other cleaning agents which might affect the coating of the lathe when cleaning the lathe.
Observe the indications and notes of the manufacturer for cleaning agents. Supply sufficient
ventilation during cleaning works in order to avoid any health hazards caused by toxic vapors.
After having thoroughly cleaned the machine, all blank machine parts need to be slightly oiled.
To do so, use an acid-free lubricating oil.
ATTENTION!
Lots of cleaning agents are inflammable and highly flammable. While handling cleaning
agents you must not smoke. Fire and open light are forbidden!
INFORMATION
Oil, grease and cleaning agents are environmentally hazardous substances and must not be
drained to the sewage or disposed of with the standard domestic waste. Dispose of such
agents in an environmentally compatible way. Rags which are soaked with oil, grease or clean-
ing agents are easily inflammable. Collect the rags or shoddy wool in an appropriate closed
container and dispose of them in an environmentally compatible way. Do not dispose of them
together with the domestic waste!
