Reduce dust exposure:
Particles generated when working with this
machine may contain substances that can cause
cancer, allergic reactions, respiratory diseases, birth
defects or other propagation defects. Some of these
substances include: Lead (in paint containing
lead),mineral dust (from bricks, concrete etc.), additives
used for wood treatment (chromate, wood preservatives),
some wood types (such as oak or beech dust), metals,
asbestos.
The risk depends on for how long the user or nearby
persons are exposed to the substance.
This dust must not be allowed to enter your body.
Do the following to reduce exposure to these substances:
Ensure good ventilation of the workplace and wear
appropriate protective equipment, such as respirators able
to filter microscopically small particles.
Observe the relevant guidelines for your material, staff,
application and place of application (e.g. occupational
health and safety regulations, disposal).
Collect the generated particles at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Use suitable accessories for special work (see chapter
11.), thus less particles enter the environment in an
uncontrolled manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit. Reduce dust exposure with
the following measures:
- Do not direct the escaping particles and the
exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby persons
or on dust deposits.
- Use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers
- Ensure good ventilation of the workplace and
keep clean using a vacuum cleaner Sweeping or
blowing stirs up dust
- Vacuum or wash the protective clothing Do not
blow, beat or brush
