Personal Safety; Special Safety Instructions - Hilti DG 150 Mode D'emploi

5.1.3 Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while you are tired or under the influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing pro-
tection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off - - position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch
or energising power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to
a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
ellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
5.1.4 Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the pow-
er tool or these instructions to operate the power
tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool's oper-
ation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations dif-
ferent from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
5.1.5 Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

5.2 Special safety instructions

a) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder.
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
b) Operations such as sanding, wire brushing, polish-
ing or cutting-off are not recommended to be per-
formed with this power tool. Operations for which
the power tool was not designed may create a hazard
and cause personal injury.
c) Do not use accessories which are not specifically
designed and recommended by the tool manufac-
turer. Just because the accessory can be attached to
your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
d) The rated speed of the accessory must be at least
equal to the maximum speed marked on the power
tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed
can break and fly apart.
e) The outside diameter and the thickness of your acces-
sory must be within the capacity rating of your pow-
er tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be ade-
quately guarded or controlled.
f) The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or
any other accessory must properly fit the spindle of
the power tool. Accessories with arbour holes that
do not match the mounting hardware of the power
tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and
may cause loss of control.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use
inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for
chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or
excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires.
If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for
damage or install an undamaged accessory. After
inspecting and installing an accessory, position
yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the
rotating accessory and run the power tool at maxi-
mum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged acces-
sories will normally break apart during this test time.
h) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safe-
ty glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hear-
ing protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable
