the work area so they will not be struck by flying ob-
jects.
Stay clear of the cutting edges, pinching surfaces or
crushing surfaces of the work tool while performing
any work tool maintenance, testing or adjustments.
Asbestos Information
Equipment and replacement parts shipped from the
manufacturer are asbestos free. When replacement
parts are required, use only genuine manufacturer’s
replacement parts
Use caution when handling replacement parts from
another supplier if these parts contain asbestos.
Avoid inhaling dust that might be generated when
handling these components or when handling
asbestos debris. Inhaling this dust can be hazardous
to your health.
The components that may contain asbestos fibers
are lining material, and some gaskets. The asbestos
that is used in these components is usually encased
in a resin or sealed in some way. Normal handling is
not hazardous unless airborne dust containing as-
bestos is generated.
If dust that may contain asbestos is present, there
are several guidelines that should be followed.
1.
Never use compressed air for cleaning. Avoid
brushing or grinding materials that contain as-
bestos. Use a wet method to clean up asbestos
debris. A vacuum that is equipped with the high-
efficiency particulate air filter (HEPA filter) can
also be used.
2.
Use exhaust ventilation on permanent machin-
ing jobs.
3.
Wear an approved respirator if there is no other
way to control the dust.
4.
Comply with applicable rules and regulations for
the work place. In the USA, use Occupational
Safety and Health Administration requirements.
These OSHA requirements can be found in 29
CFR 1910.1001.
5.
Obey environmental regulations for disposal of
asbestos.
6.
Stay away from areas that might have asbestos
particles in the air.
