Noise Level; Safety Instructions; Using The Machine - Virutex PAE85T Operating Instructions Manual

2.6 NOISE LEVEL

The measured noise level values are emission levels and
do not necessarily reflect a safe working level. Factors
influencing the real noise exposure level experienced by
the operator include the exposure duration, characteris-
tics of the location, other sources of emission, such as the
number of machines installed, etc.
The noise from this machine has been measured accor-
ding to regulation UNE-EN ISO3746 (1996). Noise mea-
surements were taken during the trimming. The noise le-
vel at the work station may exceed 85 dB(A). In this case,
the machine operator should take protective measures
against noise.

3. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read this instruction manual carefully be-
fore start-up, use, maintenance or any
other operation performed on the trimmer.

3.1 USING THE MACHINE

• The machine operator must meet all the requirements
established for using a machine tool.
• The trimmer must not be used while under the influen-
ce of alcoholic beverages, drugs or medications.
• All operators must be adequately trained in the use,
control and operation of the trimmer.
• Operators must read the manual carefully, paying close
attention to the notes and safety warnings. They must
also be informed of the dangers associated with the use
of the edgebander and the precautions that must be
taken, as well as trained in the performance of periodic
inspections of the protective and safety devices.
• It is extremely important to place two appropriate pa-
dlocks on the main switch and the air intake safety valve.
A qualified, authorised operator is responsible for kee-
ping the keys.
• Before performing any adjustments, repair or cle-
aning, eliminate all voltage from the machine by placing
the main switch in the O position and then locking it.
Likewise, you should activate the safety valve, turning it
90º and then locking it with a padlock.
• Always keep the work area around the machine clean
and free of obstructions, in order to have the fastest pos-
sible access to the control panel.
• Do not use materials other than those for which the
machine has been designed.
• Do not work with parts smaller or larger than the
machine's capacity.
• The material used must be free of metal components.

Other factors that reduce noise exposure are:
• Selecting the correct tool.
• Adequate tool and machine maintenance.
• The use of appropriate hearing protection systems.
Acoustic acoustic pressure level A: 88 dBA
Acoustic power level A: 99 dBA
Uncertainty: K = 3 dBA
• Use the adjustable support when working with large-
sized parts.
• Keep hands away from the cutting tools.
• Tools must be stored in an organised manner, away
from unauthorised personnel.
• Do not use tools that are in poor condition, warped or
poorly sharpened.
