Persons exposed to high noise levels, even for a short time, may experience temporary partial hearing loss and continuous exposure to high levels can result in permanent hearing damage.
Page 19: Warning Labels
TA Operation/Maintenance Instructions Page 19 of 36 Thickness Thin workpieces generally vibrate more increasing the noise level. Length Long workpieces transmit noise away from the cutting area towards the operator. Tooling Width of Blade This affects the windage noise and increases roughly in proportion to the width of cut.
