Dusts from materials with a lead-content coating, some types of wood, minerals and metals can represent a health
hazard. Touching or inhaling dusts can be the cause of allergic reactions and/or respiratory disorders to the user or
persons in the vicinity.
Certain dust, such as that from oak or beech, are considered carcinogenic, particularly in combination with
additives used in treating wood (chromate wood preservatives). Material containing asbestos may only be
processed by specialists.
When working with these or comparable materials you must provide an extraction system.
Avoid contact with power sources. The machine is not insulated against contact with live parts.
