WARNING: In extreme working
conditions, conductive dust can
accumulate inside the machine housing
when working with metal. This can result
in the protective insulation inthe machine

of an electrical shock.
To avoid build-up of metal swarf inside the machine,
we recommend to clear the ventilation slots on a
daily basis. Refer to Maintenance.

Extensive use of flap discs in metal
applications can result in the increased
potential for electric shock. To reduce
this risk, insert an RCD before use
and clean the ventilation slots daily by
blowing dry compressed air into the
ventilation slots inaccordance with the
below maintenance instructions.
