General Information - Scheppach Forsa 3.0 Bedienungsanleitung

Noise data
Measurement conditions per EN 1870-1: 1995-07; DIN EN ISO
11202; DIN EN ISO 3746
The stipulated values are emission values and so do not necessa-
rily represent safe working values. Although there is a correlation
between emission levels and exposure levels, it is not possible
to reliably determine whether additional protective measures will
be required or not based on this. Factors that could influence the
exposure level present at any given time in the work area include
the duration of exposure, the nature of the working area, other
noise sources etc. e.g. the number of machines and neighbouring
processes. The permissible workstation values can also vary from
country to country. However, this information should enable the
operator to better evaluate the hazards and risks.
Sound power level in dB
Idle LWA = 91.2 dB(A),
Working LWA = 97.7 dB(A)
1. After unpacking check all parts for transport damage. In the
event of complaints the carrier must be informed immediately.
2. Later claims will not be recognised.
3. Check whether the shipment is complete.
4. Familiarise yourself with the product by means of the opera-
ting instructions before using for the first time.
5. With accessories as well as wearing parts and replacement
parts use only original scheppach parts. Replacement
parts can be obtained from your dealer.
6. When ordering please provide our article number as well
as type and year of manufacture for your equipment.

Sound pressure level at workstation in dB
Idle LpAeq = 80.6 dB(A),
Working LpAeq = 87.6 dB(A)
A measurement uncertainty supplement applies to the emissions
values stated:
K = 4 dB.
Dust emission details
With the connection of the machine to a properly working suction
device which has a minimum suction flow rate of 20 m/s at the
suction nozzle, it can be assumed that the dust emissions will
remain permanently below the value of 2 mg/m3 overall dust at the
machine workstation.

General information

Our recommendation to you:
Read the whole text of the operating instructions before
assembly and start up.
These operating instructions should help to familiarise you with
the machine and to use it for its intended purpose. The operating
instructions include important instructions for the safe, proper and
economic operation of the machine, for avoiding danger, for mini-
mising repair costs and downtimes and for increasing the reliability
and extending the service life of the machine.
In addition to the safety instructions in these operating instruc-
tions, you must also observe the regulations applicable to the
operation of the machine in your country.
Keep the operating instructions safely at the machine in a plastic
sleeve, protected from dirt and moisture. They must be read and
carefully observed by all operating personnel before starting the
work. The machine may only be used by personnel who have
been trained to use it and who have been instructed with respect
to the associated hazards. The required minimum age must be
observed. In addition to the safety instructions in these operating
instructions and the separate regulations of your country, the ge-
nerally recognised technical rules relating to the operation of wood
processing machines must also be observed.
