Norton Clipper Pro Silencio: the silent solution

We all know that when you use conventional diamond blades on a construction site, it can be extremely loud. Yet it’s vital to reduce noise, not only for operator health and to meet EU guidelines for noise induced hearing loss (NIHL), but also because of requirements in certain locations that are more sensitive to noise. When working in residential areas or city centres, there are many local regulations preventing excessive noise levels so it’s impossible to use conventional tools. In particular, in facilities such as schools or hospitals where you find people of a delicate disposition, it’s essential to use solutions that can reduce disruption.
With Norton Clipper Pro Silencio diamond blades you can reduce noise levels by up to eight times compared to conventional diamond blades when used on concrete, granite and other building materials.
