authorised D

WARNING: In extreme working conditions, conductive
dust can accumulate inside the machine housing when
working with metal. This can result in the protective
insulation in the machine becoming degraded with a
potential risk 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.
Using Flap Discs

WARNING: Metal dust build-up. 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
