Storage
Keep the machine sealed in its original packaging until required for assembly/installation and be
sure to observe the machine handling advice on the outside of the packaging.
Store packed items only under the following conditions
• Do not store outdoors.
• Store in a dry and dust-free environment.
• Do not expose to aggressive substances.
• Protect from direct sunlight.
• Avoid subjecting the machine to shocks.
• Storage temperature: –10° to +50 °C
• Maximum humidity 60 %.
• Avoid extreme temperature fluctuations (condensation build-up).
• When storing for a period longer than 3 months, apply a coat of oil to all machine parts that
might be prone to rusting (corrosion protection). Regularly check the general condition of all
parts and the packaging. If necessary, refresh or re-apply a coat of anti-corrosive agent.
• If the machine is to be stored in a damp environment, it must be sealed in airtight packaging
and protected against corrosion (desiccant).
Disposal
When disposing of the machine, separate all components into material groups in order to
facilitate recycling. The main structure is made of cast iron and steel and can therefore be
safely dismantled and disposed of without risk of pollution.
Used electrical materials, electrical components, lubricants and other auxiliary
substances must be treated as hazardous waste and may only be disposed of by
specialist licenced firms
.
3.0 Connection to a Dust Extraction System
This machine must be connected to a compatible dust extraction unit using a
suitable size and grade of vacuum hose.
Wood dust can be harmful to health by inhalation and skin contact, and concentrations of small
dust particles in the air can form an explosive mixture. Prevention or control of wood dust
exposure should as far as is reasonably practicable, be achieved by measure other than the
provision of personal protective equipment.
Employers have duties under the Provision of Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER)
and the Control Of Substances Hazardous To Health Regulations 1988 to carry out an adequate
assessment of the possible risks to health associated with wood dust particularly when machining
hardwoods, and if necessary seek expert advice as to the method of dust extraction.
The minimum recommended air volume required to effectively exhaust this machine at
20m/sec is 1105 CMH for the MB and 1445 CMH for the CP.
