41 00... Information on hazards

• When a vehicle outer shell is ground, aluminum dust accumulates in small amounts. This dust can be removed with conventional extractor systems.

• Explosion hazard due to high concentration of fine aluminum dust.

  Arising e.g. during straight-through grinding of coated parts in the base material and large-surface grinding of bright-finish parts.

• Explosion hazard due to swirling up of fine aluminum dust in cavities.

  Created by the necessary, thorough cleaning of machining surfaces and tools before and after machining aluminum.

• Avoid high concentration of fine aluminum dust by means of continuous extraction.
• Use explosion-proof extractor systems.
• Do not use compressed air when cleaning the work bay.
• Avoid swirling up dust when cleaning the work area.

• Spontaneous combustion of fine aluminum dust when ignition and fire sources are drawn in.

  E.g.: hot splinters, grinding sparks, cigarettes etc.

• Do not operate ignition and fire sources in the intake area of extractor systems.

• Explosion hazard due to high concentration of carbon dust.

  Produced when grinding carbon.

• Explosion hazard due to swirling of carbon dust in cavities.

  Created by the necessary, thorough cleaning of machining surfaces and tools before and after machining carbon.

• Avoid high concentration of carbon dust by means of continuous extraction.
• Use explosion-proof extractor systems.
• Do not use compressed air when cleaning the work bay.
• Avoid swirling up dust when cleaning the work area.

• Spontaneous combustion of carbon dust when ignition and fire sources are drawn in.

  E.g.: hot debris, grinding sparks, cigarettes etc.

• Do not operate ignition and fire sources in the intake area of extractor systems.

Repair stage 1:

• When a vehicle outer shell is ground, aluminum dust accumulates in small amounts. This dust can be removed with conventional extractor systems.

Repair stage 3:

(structural repairs with welding)

• Explosion hazard due to high concentration of fine aluminum dust.

  Arising e.g. during straight-through grinding of coated parts in the base material and large-surface grinding of bright-finish parts.
