Additional Safety Instructions - Hilti SF 2-A Mode D'emploi

5.3 Additional safety instructions

5.3.1 Personal safety
a) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an
operation where the fastener may contact hidden wiring. Fasteners
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
b) Always hold the power tool securely with both hands on the grips
provided. Keep the grips dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
c) Improve the blood circulation in your fingers by relaxing your hands
and exercising your fingers during breaks between working.
d) Avoid touching rotating parts. Switch the power tool on only after
bringing it into position at the workpiece. Touching rotating parts,
especially rotating insert tools, may lead to injury.
e) Activate the safety lock (forward / reverse switch in the middle
position) before storing or transporting the power tool.
f) The power tool is not intended for use by children, by debilitated
persons or those who have received no instruction or training.
g) Children must be instructed not to play with the power tool.
h) Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some wood species,
minerals and metal may be harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust
may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the operator
or bystanders. Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic
such as oak and beech dust especially in conjunction with additives for
wood conditioning (chromate, wood preservative). Material containing
asbestos must only be treated by specialists. Where the use of a dust
extraction device is possible it shall be used. To achieve a high
level of dust collection, use a suitable vacuum cleaner of the type
recommended by Hilti for wood dust and/or mineral dust together
with this tool. Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated. The use
of a dust mask of filter class P2 is recommended. Follow national
requirements for the materials you want to work with.
5.3.2 Power tool use and care
a) Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to secure the work-
piece. The workpiece is thus held more securely than by hand and both
hands remain free to operate the power tool.
b) Check that the insert tools used are compatible with the chuck
system and that they are secured in the chuck correctly.
c) Large and heavy insert tools must only be operated in first gear.
There is otherwise a risk that the tool will be damaged when it is switched
off or, under unfavorable conditions, the chuck might be detached.
