20. WARNING LABELS – It is important that labels and Health & Safety Warnings are not removed or painted
over. New labels are available from Customer Services.
21. MECHANICAL SAFETY – The security of all clamps and work holding devices should be checked before
switching on.
22. WOOD DUST – The fine particles of dust produced in sanding operations can be a long term health hazard
if excessive. Some imported hardwoods do give off highly irritant dust which causes a burning sensation. We
strongly recommend the use of a dust collector and dust mask/visor. Our Customer Services will be happy to
advise you on the correct unit for your needs.
