1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Operational Safety: Always ensure the dust extraction is correctly fitted before use. Check the extraction system is connected to a suitable vacuum cleaner.
Dust Hazard: Drilling and cutting concrete and masonry generates silica dust. Use appropriate respiratory protection (at least P2 or N95 mask) even with dust extraction in use.
Maintenance: Clean the dust extraction system regularly. Check for blockages in the extraction path.
Training requirement: Operators should be familiar with correct fitting and usage procedures.
2. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Injury (dust): Do not rub. Rinse immediately with plenty of clean water for at least 15 minutes, holding eyelids open. Seek medical attention.
Skin Contact (dust): Wash skin with soap and water. If irritation develops, seek medical attention.
Inhalation of Dust: Move a person to fresh air. If symptoms persist (coughing, difficulty breathing), seek medical attention.
3. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammability: The dust extraction attachment is not highly flammable but may burn if exposed to fire.
Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, foam, dry chemical powder, or carbon dioxide (CO₂) for fires.
Fire Response: In event of fire, evacuate the area and call emergency services. Use appropriate extinguishers.
