The figures of equivalent and ceiling sound level (p. 3) are the levels of radiations but are not
necessarily the safe operating levels. Despite there is a correlation between levels of radiation
and noise impact, they can be reliably used to determine if further protection measures will
be required.
Factors that influence on the actual level of noise impact on the user include not only the
characteristics of working space (open air, under cover, enclosed space and its sizes), but also
other noise sources, namely, the noise from the other related processes. This information
allows the user of the machine to make a risk assessment and take care of the necessary
safety precautions.
Precautionary measures herein refer to the reducing of the noise dose by cutting time spent
in the work area, using of individual protective equipment such as earplugs, hearing
protectors, etc.
Allow only qualified persons to inspect and service the machine and use only original spare
parts.
8.4 Workpiece requirements
The workpiece weight must not exceed 50 kg.
The maximum workpiece dimensions are listed in Table 1. When processing workpieces of
greater length, it is necessary to use special trays that should be installed under the hanging
end of the workpiece, or work in a pair with someone. The minimum height of the workpiece
during planing or sawing should be not less than 5 mm.
Workpiece should be checked for the presence of metallic or mineral inclusions (nails,
staples, splinters, stones etc.) Do not process materials containing cracks, black knots, rot of
wood or other wood defects.
IT IS FORBIDDEN: to cut flat the workpiece (“round wood”) without a special carriage (not
included in the scope of delivery).
When crosscutting the “round wood”, supply is performed by moving the workpiece along
the table, rather than by rolling.
The workpiece shall not be wet. The recommended humidity should be up to 12%.
8.5 Working stance and workpiece supply
The proper working stance of the user is standing position. To supply workpieces to the
machine, the user should stand aside, next to the workpiece.
When jointing, move the workpiece along the loading table, pressing it by ruler. It is
necessary to keep the fingers together and hold the workpiece with both palms at the top.
Proper hand position is when one hand is on the upper workpiece sawn face, above the
loading table.
It is necessary to plane the workpieces along the full length without moving it back over the
rotating knife block. The workpieces with a thickness less than 50 mm should be planed with
the help of the holding-down device (p. 10.1.6).
When sawing and millingб the workpiece should be kept with fingers and moved smoothly
along the loading table, without cramping it, with the help of the ruler and cross cutting
device.
