NOTE:
The figures quoted on the previous page in the above table are emission levels and are not necessarily safe working levels. While
there is correlation between the emission and exposure levels, this cannot be reliably used to determine whether or not further
precautions are required. Factors that influence the actual level of exposure include the characteristics of the work room, other
sources of noise, etc. Also the permissible exposure level can vary depending on the country. This information, however, will
enable the user of the machine to make a better evaluation of the hazard and risk.
