►Perform site-specific risk assessment. The risk
assessment should include dust and fumes
created by the use of the machine and the
potential for disturbing existing dust.
►Use proper engineering controls to minimize the
amount of dust and fumes in the air and to
minimize build-up on equipment, surfaces,
clothing, and body parts. Examples of controls
include: exhaust ventilation and dust collection
systems, water sprays, and wet drilling. Control
dusts and fumes at the source where possible.
Make sure that controls are properly installed,
maintained and correctly used.
►Wear, maintain and correctly use respiratory
protection as instructed by your employer and as
required by occupational health and safety
regulations. The respiratory protection must be
effective for the type of substance at issue (and if
applicable, approved by relevant governmental
authority).
►Work in a well ventilated area.
►If the machine has an exhaust, direct the exhaust
so as to reduce disturbance of dust in a dust filled
environment.
►Operate and maintain the machine as
recommended in the operating and safety
instructions
►Select, maintain and replace consumables/
inserted tools/ other accessory as recommended
in the operating and safety instructions. Incorrect
selection or lack of maintenance of consumables/
inserted tools/ other accessories may cause an
unnecessary increase in dust or fumes.
►Wear washable or disposable protective clothes
at the worksite, and shower and change into clean
clothes before leaving the worksite to reduce
exposure of dust and fumes to yourself, other
persons, cars, homes, and other areas.
►Avoid eating, drinking, and using tobacco products
in areas where there is dust or fumes.
►Wash your hands and face thoroughly as soon as
possible upon leaving the exposure area, and
always before eating, drinking, using tobacco
products, or making contact with other persons.
►Comply with all applicable laws and regulations,
including occupational health and safety
regulations.
►Participate in air monitoring, medical examination
programs, and health and safety training programs
provided by your employer or trade organizations
and in accordance with occupational health and
safety regulations and recommendations. Consult
with physicians experienced with relevant
occupational medicine.
►Work with your employer and trade organization
to reduce dust and fume exposure at the worksite
and to reduce the risks. Effective health and safety
programs, policies and procedures for protecting
workers and others against harmful exposure to
dust and fumes should be established and
implemented based on advice from health and
safety experts. Consult with experts.
WARNING Projectiles
Failure of the work piece, of accessories, or even of
the machine itself may generate high velocity
projectiles. During operating, splinters or other
particles from the working material may become
projectiles and cause personal injury by striking the
operator or other persons. To reduce these risk:
►Use approved personal protective equipment and
safety helmet, including impact resistant eye
protection with side protection.
►Make sure that no unauthorised persons trespass
into the working zone.
►Keep the workplace free from foreign objects.
►Ensure that the work piece is securely fixed.
WARNING Splinters hazard
Using the insertion tool as a hand struck tool can
result in splinters hitting the operator and can cause
personal injury.
►Never use a insertion tool as a hand struck tool.
They are specifically designed and heat-treated
to be used only in a machine.
WARNING Slipping, tripping and falling
hazards
There is a risk of slipping or tripping or falling, for
example tripping on the hoses or on other objects.
Slipping or tripping or falling can cause injury. To
reduce this risk:
►Always make sure that no hose or other object is
in your way or in any other person's way.
