WARNING: In extreme working
conditions, conductive dust can
accumulate inside the machine housing
when working with metal. This can result
in the protective insulation inthe machine
becoming degraded with a potential risk
of an electrical shock.
To avoid build-up of metal swarf inside the machine,
we recommend to clear the ventilation slots on a
daily basis. Refer to Maintenance.
Cutting Metal
When cutting, work with moderate feed, adapted to
the material being cut. Do not exert pressure onto
the cutting disc, tilt or oscillate the machine.
