3.4 Aluminium processing
When sawing aluminium, the following
measures must be taken for safety reasons:
– Connect the machine to a suitable dust ex­
tractor.
– Regularly remove dust deposits from the
motor housing.
– Use an aluminium saw blade.
– Close the viewing window/chipguard.
Wear protective goggles.
– When sawing panels, they must be lubri­
cated with paraffin but thin-walled profiles
(up to 3 mm) can be sawed without lubrica­
tion.
3.5 Health hazard by dust
WARNING! various dust created by pow­
er sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and
other construction activities contains chemicals
known (to the State of California) to cause can­
cer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber.
The risk from these exposures varies, depend­
ing on how often you do this type of work. To re­
duce your exposure to these chemicals: work in
a well ventilated area, and work with approved
safety equipment, such as dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic par­
ticles. Wash hands after handling.
