Depending upon the material processed, milling introduces some risks.
It is a good rule to keep an eye on a milling job being executed.
Pay special attention to:
• Do not leave the machine running if the vacuum cleaner can be over-filled. This might cause
damage, or in worst case a fire if the suction house is clogged.
• Ensure the filter inside the vacuum cleaner is cleaned regulary.
• Be aware the risk of suction tube clogging.
• Be aware the risk of suction house clogging.
• Milling MDF or other fine dust materials requires extra attention in order to keep the vacuum
cleaner filter clean.
Vacuum cleaner full
• Follow the Vacuum Cleaner filling level
carefully.
• Empty the container before the level reach the
inlet position (indicated in red).
Suction house
Always, when executing a job, let the
suction house
float on top of the material.
In addition to chip removal, the
suction house
reduces the risk of being hit by small work pieces or by a
broken
milling bit
.
Warning
: Regularly inspect and clean the
suction house
to prevent it from clogging. Failing to do
so could in worst case result in a fire when a hot
milling bit
is in contact with the debris.
Ejection of parts
There is a potential risk that personnel can be hit by breaking
milling bits
or small pieces of processed
material. Therefore, eye protection must be used by any personnel working with milling.
• Always use eye protection when working with
milling.
