Characteristic noise values

DIN EN ISO 3746 / DIN EN ISO 11202 / ISO 7960 Appendix A
Use of the machine as a bench to circular saw with standard
circular saw blade.
Sound levels:
L = dB(A)
No-load
WA
L = dB(A)
Load
WA
The factor of measurement uncertainty is 4 dB.
The values given are emission values and must therefore not simulta-
neously represent safe workplace values too. Although there is a
relationship between emission and immission levels, it can be reliably
deduced whether additional precautionary measures are necessary or
not. Factors, which can influence the immission level currently existing
at the workplace include the duration of the effects, the special type of
the workroom, other noise sources, etc. e.g. the number of machines
and other adjacent processes. The permissible workplace values can
also vary from country to country. This information should however
enable an improved assessment of the danger and risk to be carried
out.

Normal intended use

The circular saw is solely intended use for the longitudinal
and transverse cutting of solid timber, panel materials such
as chipboard, wood core plywood, and medium density
fibreboard (MDF) using HM circular saw blades, whereby
only saw blades that comply with the standard EN 847 – 1
may be used.
The use of saw blades made of HSS steel (high-alloy high
speed tool steel) is not permissible, because this steel is
hard and brittle. Risk of injury due to the saw blade breaking
and pieces of saw blade spinning off.
Round materials (logs, pipes, etc.) are not permitted to be
cut without a special device for this purpose.
Sound levels at the workplace
L = dB(A)
pA
L = dB(A)
pA
The diameter of the saw blade must lie between 245 and
250 mm.
Only workpieces which have been securely mounted and
aligned can be processed.
The intended usage also includes compliance with the
operating, servicing and repair conditions prescribed by
the manufacturer and following the safety instructions
included in the instructions.
The relevant accident prevention regulations for the
operation as well as the other generally acknowledged
occupational medicine and safety rules must be complied
with.
Any other use is deemed not to be use as prescribed. The
manufacturer is not liable for any type of damage resulting
from this: the user bears the sole risk.
Independently made alterations to the circular saw preclude
any liability of the manufacturer for resulting damages of any
kind.
The circular saw may only be equipped, used and serviced
by persons who are familiar with these and have been
instructed in the hazards. Repair works may only be carried
out by us or by a customer service agent nominated by us:
The machine may not be used in a potentially explosive
environment or be exposed to the rain.
Metal parts (nails, etc.) must be removed from the timber to
be sawn.

Residual risks

Even if used properly, residual risks can exist even if the
relevant safety regulations are complied with due to the design
determined by the intended purpose.
Residual risks can be minimised if the "Safety information" and
the "Intended usage" as well as the whole of the operating
instructions are observed.
Potential risks:
Risk of injury to fingers and hands caused by the tool (saw
blade) or workpiece (e.g. when changing the saw blade).
Injury from parts of the workpiece spinning off.
Throwback of the workpiece or workpiece parts.
Breakage and spinning off from the saw blade.
Risk from electricity, by using non-standard electrical
connections.
Touching live parts of opened electrical components.
Impairment of hearing when working on the machine for
longer periods of time without ear protection.
Emission of harmful timber dust when operating without
exhaust suction.
In addition, in spite of all the precautionary measures taken,
non-obvious residual risks can still exist.

Safe working

Woodworking machines can be dangerous if not used
properly. If electrical tools are used, the fundamental safety
precautions must be met to preclude the risks of fire,
electric shock and injuries to persons.
