Now, the three people that work in the sewing room are complaining that the machines are having an adverse effect on their hearing, which I've also noticed. I've checked the technical manual and the casings of the machines and can't see any declaration of the decibels produced by these machines. Does anyone know what the decibel level is on the following machines? Amaya (original) Amaya XT EMT-10T We're also running two industrial sewing machines, but I've been able to find information on them. I was hoping to avoid purchasing a decibel meter, as one that meets the OSHA regulations is ridiculously expensive. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
