formation of a1r l1ght and ch1ps, wh1 c h are d1ff1 cult t o remove. d) F1rmly anchor the pieces under processing in order to avoid the presence of VIbrations, which can cause panel

delamination, and tearing of covering shee ts/layers/spallmg of sheet s e) Keep equ1pment and p1eces under processing clean potentialscales and/or flashes can be transmi tted from

t ools/equ1pments and damage panelsurface f) Keep the protection f1lm on as long as poss1ble even dur1ng processing 1n order t o avoid superficial abrasions dur1ng

panel handl1ng. g) Dur1ng processing panels ca n become electro statically c harged making the removal of ch1ps difficult the problem ca n

be solved vacuum clean1ng the c h1ps and via a nti st at1c sprays h) The heat1ng of material due to machin1ng and thermo f orming can ca use the release of fumes toxic f or operators and
