Title Noise reduction by selection of machines with low sound emission - cooled circular saws
Original title Lärmminderung durch Auswahl leiser Maschinen - Kaltkreissägemaschinen [in German]
Bibliographic information Oct. 1988, No.4, p.6-7. Illus.
Abstract A diagram is presented plotting the A-weighted sound levels of cooled, metalcutting, circular saws as function of the nominal motor power. It represents the results of extensive sound level measurements of cooled circular saws in operation in the Federal Republic of Germany. Best available low-noise tools have sound levels below the 25-percentile line in the diagram.
