HEALTH ADVICE
WARNING: When using this machine, dust
particles may be produced. In some instances,
depending on the materials you are working
with, this dust can be particularly harmful. If you
suspect that paint on the surface of material
you wish to cut contains lead, seek professional
advice. Lead based paints should only be
removed by a professional and you should not
attempt to remove it yourself. Once the dust
has been deposited on surfaces, hand to mouth
contact can result in the ingestion of lead.
Exposure to even low levels of lead can cause
irreversible brain and nervous system damage.
The young and unborn children are particularly
vulnerable. You are advised to consider the risks
associated with the materials you are working
with and to reduce the risk
of exposure. As some materials can produce dust
that may be hazardous to your health,
we recommend the use of an approved face mask
with replaceable filters when using
this machine.
You should always:
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Work with approved safety equipment,
such as dust masks that are specially designed
to filter microscopic particles.
