Hazardous noise levels may result in hearing impairment. It is recommended that the responsible body
measures or calculates the sound pressure level at the operator's position and at whatever point 1 m from the
enclosure of the equipment has the highest sound pressure level. If it is not ensured during installation that the
sound pressure level from the device will not reach a value at its point of use, that could cause a hazard, then
protective materials such ad noise reducing baffles or hoods, ear protection equipment has to be used. Observe
local regulations regarding hearing protection.
