Aluminium processing

When sawing aluminium, the following mea-
sures 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 lubricated
with paraffin but thin-walled profiles (up to 3
mm) can be sawed without lubrication.
