2.2 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 under the following conditions:
• Store indoors in a dry and dust-free environment;
• Do not expose to toxic substances or direct sunlight;
• Store in ambient temperatures and ensure environment is not damp; avoid exposure to
condensation; and
• If storing for a period of several weeks, apply a coat of oil to all machine parts that might rust
before storing. Always inspect condition of machine before operating for the first time after
being in long-term storage.
2.3 Disposal
If disposing of the machine, separate all components into piles of the same material. The main
structure is made of cast iron and steel and can therefore be safely dismantled and recycled.
Always comply with local environmental regulations when disposing of machinery.
Be aware of your environmental obligations. Carefully consider the disposal of
any electrical components e.g. motors, starters, and ensure any lubricants etc.
are treated as hazardous waste and disposed of safely in accordance with
environmental laws

3.0 Connection to a Dust Extraction System
Exposure to dust can damage lung health and this machine must be connected
to a compatible dust extraction unit using a suitable size and grade of vacuum
hose before operation.
Wood dust can be harmful to health by inhalation and skin contact and concentrations of small
dust particles in the air can be a hazard (wood dust is highly combustible and can spontaneously
explode). Wood dust should be managed by a dust extraction system and the machine must be
connected to a vacuum system with sufficient capacity, to generate required pressure and air
speed.
Build up of dust and shavings/chips around the machine should be avoided by regular removal.
Health & Safety Executive Guidance is available on how to assess possible risks to health
associated with wood dust particularly when machining hardwoods. Specialist help and
information can be obtained from P&J Dust Extraction –
The minimum recommended air volume required to effectively exhaust this machine at the
recommended speed of 20m/sec is 775 m
