• Never cut any unknown or toxic materials and properly dispose of waste products. Always
refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) from the material manufacturer to determine if it is safe
to return water contaminated by cut material to the water system. Follow local regulations
to properly dispose of all waste products including water, spent abrasive and cut material
debris.
• Keep the interior of the water jet cutter, clean and free of debris. Clean the cutting head and
abrasive supply hose. A build-up of cutting and engraving residue and debris is dangerous
and may increase the risk of improper performance or an environmental hazard such as
clogging, overflowing, and jamming.
