vacuuming methods, de-dusted before being taken out from the hazardous zone. All parts of the dust
collector must be considered as contaminated when they are removed from the hazardous zone and
appropriate actions must be taken to prevent dust from dispersing.
e)
Always close the inlet of the dust collector with the appropriate plug when the dust hose is disconnected.
f)
Make sure the dust hoses are disconnected and put away properly before transport.
