4.6 Special Characteristics of Guards Made of Polycarbonate (Plexiglas)
Polycarbonate guards require special attention if they are to protect against possible flying tool parts (e.g. in
case of tool breakage of cutters or saw blades).
Polycarbonate guards must therefore be checked regularly for deep scratches, cracks, bulges or cloudiness
(visual inspection). If corresponding damage becomes apparent, the protective device must be replaced imme-
diately, as the required protective capability is no longer given.
Do not use oils, fuels or solvents to clean and maintain polycarbonate protective devices. Do
not use aggressive or toxic industrial cleaners that can damage the windows or bonding. Under
no circumstances may nitro thinner be used. The cleaner must be free of hydrocarbons.
4.6.1 Effect of cooling lubricants on polycarbonate
The ingredients in cooling lubricants can negatively influence the material properties of polycarbonate. When
cooling lubricants are used regularly (e.g. when machining aluminium), the polycarbonate guards should be
renewed every 2 years at the latest. Even if there is no externally visible damage, the material may no longer
have the required impact protection.
