2.5 Noise level
The noise levels measured are emission levels and not necessarily the safe working level. Although there is a correlation between the emission levels and the exposure levels, this cannot be used reliably to determine whether or not further precautions are required. The factors which affect the actual level of operator exposure include the duration of exposure, the ambient characteristics and other sources of emission, for example, the number of machines and other adjacent machining. The permitted exposure values may also vary from country to country. Nevertheless, this information allows the user of the machine to better evaluate the dangers and risks. Other factors which reduce exposure to noise are:
- correcttool choice
- tool and machine maintenance
- use of hearing protection systems (e.g. headsets, earplugs, …)

After straightening a ledge side 1, turn it over 90 。,make the surface side 2 vertically access to the fence carry out the thicknessing.The rest of two sides can be machined by thicknessing. In this way it is possible to obtain a finished piece planed on all 4 sides.
Before proceeding with machining, carefully read the advice on safety and planer-protection adjustment in the following paragraphs.
Safety recommendations
Always work with the plane arbor guard fitted.
Keep the edges ofthe machine clean and clear. Keep a steady position while working.
The wood piece should always be pressed on the thicknessing tables and never near the planer arbor.
When working the last part, the hand should always be positioned after the plane arbor, on the exit table. Do get and use some pushing devices, in order to safely machine small workpieces with small sections.
Rest the wood piece with its hollow side towards the tables; avoid the working ofwoodblocks with b endings and other very evident flaws (cracks, splits, etc.).
In particular, be careful ofknots which couldjump out and represent a hazard.
The feed speed ofthe wood must always be proportionable to the thickness to be removed.
Always check that the pieces are steadyand use a support, to be positioned behind the outlet table, to hold long workpieces.
While machining very high pieces (panels0 against the fence, lock the protection bridge as near as possible to the panel.
Clear the chips left on the tables using a wood piece, not with your hands. Rest the protection bridge against the tables.
In case the chips have blocked the inside ofthe machine or the inlet area, do clear themonly after stopping the
machine and locking the main switch.
In order to have a better gliding of the pieces to be machined, apply some paraffin onto the tables, or use a similar product.
