Reducing dust exposure:
Some of the particles generated using this
power tool may contain substances known to
cause cancer, allergic reactions, respiratory
diseases, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some of these substances include: lead (in paint
containing lead), mineral dust (from bricks,
concrete etc.), additives used for wood treatment
(chromate, wood preservatives), some wood types
(such as oak or beech dust), metals, asbestos.
The risk from exposure to such substances will
depend on how long the user or nearby persons are
being exposed.
Do not let particles enter the body.
To reduce exposure to these substances: work in a
well ventilated area and wear protective equipment,
such as dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
Observe the relevant guidelines for your material,
staff, application and place of application (e.g.
occupational health and safety regulations,
disposal).
Collect the particles generated at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Use only suitable accessories. In this way, fewer
particles enter the environment in an uncontrolled
manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
- do not direct the escaping particles and the
exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby persons
or on dust deposits.
- Use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers.
- Ensure good ventilation of the workplace and
keep it clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping
or blowing stirs up dust.
- Vacuum or wash protective clothing. Do not blow,
beat or brush.
