CAUTION
Wherever possible, use a suitable mobile vacuum
dust removal system such as the WVC 40‑M (wood)
or VCU 40‑M (wood and mineral materials) for the
application concerned. Use a respiratory protector of
the P2 filter class with half-mask facepiece if no dust
removal system is available or its use is impossible.
In addition, to keep the concentration of dust low,
always ensure good ventilation.
