7.3
Disposal
Equipment marked with a WEEE symbol contains electrical
and electronic components and must not be disposed of as
general waste.
Contact your local authorities for information on the correct
method of disposal in accordance with national legislation.
For disposal of consumables and recirculation fluid, follow
local regulations.
Note
Dispose of swarf according to the current local safety regulations for
handling and disposal of swarf and cooling fluid additive.
Note
The cooling fluid contains additive and cutting swarf and may not be
disposed of into a main drain. Cooling fluid must be disposed of in
compliance with local safety regulations.
Depending on which metals are being cut, it is possible that the combination of the
metallic swarf (cutting debris) from metals with a large difference in electrode-
positivity (a large distance apart in the electrochemical series), could result in
exothermic reactions when ‘favorable’ conditions are present.
Always bear in mind which metals you cut and the amount of swarf the cutting
produces. Some combinations of metals can result in exothermic reactions if a
large amount of swarf is collected during cutting.
