Risk of explosion caused by grinding dust or carbon fibres!
Enriched sanding/grinding dust can lead to dust explosions in the presence of ignition sources.
Sanding /grinding dust can be electrostatically charged when evacuated with extraction systems and poses an ignition hazard.
Always wear fine dust filter masks, safety glasses and protective gloves when handling carbon reinforced plastic materials.
| • | The extraction systems must be grounded to prevent a dust explosion.
| | • | Avoid stirring up dust, immediately extract all dust caused by sanding/grinding with approved vacuum cleaners when processing carbon reinforced plastic materials.
| | • | Use only tools that have connections for extractor units.
| | • | Wipe away remaining dust residues with a moist, lint-free rag.
