HEALTH ADVICE
Warning! When drilling, sanding, sawing or grinding, dust particles will be
produced. In some instances, depending on the materials you are working
with, this dust can be particularly harmful to you (e.g. lead from old gloss paint).
You are advised to consider the risks associated with the materials you are working
with and to reduce the risk of exposure. You should:
- Work in a well-ventilated area.
- Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter microscopic particles.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR TOOLS

> Replace table insert when worn.
> Use only diamond discs recommended by the manufacturer.
> Take care that the selection of the diamond discs is suitable for the material
to be cut.

include hearing protection to reduce the risk of induced hearing loss, respiratory
protection to reduce the risk of inhalation of harmful dust, wear gloves when
handling diamond discs and rough material.
> Never use blades on this machine.
> Use only diamond discs for which the maximum possible speed is not less
than the maximum spindle speed of the tool and the material to be cut.
