Disassembly and assembly precautions
The rotor blades (vanes) in the tool contains PTFE.
The normal health and safety recommendations
concerning PTFE must be observed when handling
these rotor blades. Particles from wear of blades
might be found in the machine housing or on the
blades. Make sure that these particles do not get in
contact with open fire. Wash your hands before
smoking since PTFE-particles heated by glow can
produce fumes which may cause an allergic reaction.
