b) Secure the workpiece. A workpiece
clamped with clamping devices or in a vice
is held more secure than by hand.
c) take protective measures when dust
can develop during working that is
harmful to one's health, combustible or
explosive. Example: Some dusts are re-
garded as carcinogenic. Wear a dust mask
and work with dust/chip extraction when
connectable.
d) Before any work on the machine (e.g.,
maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well
as during transport and storage, set the
rotational direction switch to the centre
position. Unintentional actuation of the On/
Off switch can lead to injuries.
e) hold the machine with a firm grip. High
reaction torque can briefly occur while driv-
ing in and loosening screws.
f) Switch off the power tool immediately
when the tool inserted jams. Be pre-
pared for high reaction torque that can
cause kickback. The tool insert jams
when:
- the power tool is subject to overload or
- it becomes wedged in the work piece.
g) use a metal detector to determine if
there are gas or water pipes hidden in
the work area or call the local utility
company for assistance before begin-
ning the operation. Striking or cutting into
a gas line will result in explosion. Water en-
tering an electrical device may cause elec-
trocution.
