2.5. Noise power level
Danger!
In an environment with a high noise level, for example when working near loud machinery,
wearing hearing protection in the workplace is prescribed for above 85 dB(A).
The details define volume of noise level, related to the operator workspace and the noise power
level of the masonry saw.

84 dB(A)
The guaranteed noise power level is 100 dB(A)
The values are determined by the noise emission measurement.
Testing is done without load with the largest permitted saw blade of Ø 900 mm.

4 dB for the A-valued emissions noise pressure level
Emission noise pressure is done in compliance with
EN ISO 3744, EN 12418 and guidelines 2000/14/EC.
2.6. Hand arm vibration
The given value was determined with a maximum saw blade diameter of 900 mm.
The total vibration value is under the action value of 2.5 m/s

.
In practice, these values are influenced by the following conditions:
- Quality of the saw blade
- Number of saw blades
- Weight of the operator
- Feed speed
- Condition of the machine
- Material properties and type
