CONTROLS

SPECIAL NOTES:

The sound pressure level at the operator’s ear was measured to be 78 dBA for the QTFSG and 83 dBA for the QTFSD. This was a nearfield, broad-band measurement made during normal operation on a composite tile floor with a white pad. This appliance contains no possible source of impact noise. The instantaneous sound pressure level is below 63 Pa.

The weighted root mean square acceleration at the operator’s arms was measured to be below 2.5m/s the QTFSG and below 3.2m/s2 for the QTFSD. The weighted root mean square acceleration at the operator’s posterior was measured to be below 0.5m/s for the QTFSG and below 1.3m/s2 for the QTFSD. This was a tri-axial, third-octave-band measurement made during normal operation on a composite tile floor. The measurement and related calculations were made in accordance with ANSI S3.34-1986.
