Additional Safety Instructions - Hilti TE 1000-AVR Mode D'emploi

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 Hammer safety warnings
a) Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
b) Use auxiliary handles, if supplied with the tool.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
c) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.

5.3 Additional safety instructions

5.3.1 Personal safety
a) Store power tools, when not in use, in a secure
place. When not in use, power tools must be
stored in a dry, high place or locked away out of
reach of children.
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) Always lead the supply cord and extension cord
away from the power tool to the rear while work-
ing. This helps to avoid tripping over the cord while
working.
e) Children must be instructed not to play with the
power tool.
The power tool is not intended for use by children,
f)
by debilitated persons or those who have received
no instruction or training.
g) 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 special-
ists. 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. Fol-
low national requirements for the materials you
want to work with.
5.3.2 Electrical safety
a) Before beginning work, check the working area
(e.g. using a metal detector) to ensure that no
concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes
are present. External metal parts of the power tool
may become live, for example, when an electric cable
is damaged accidentally. This presents a serious risk
of electric shock.
b) Concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes
present a serious hazard if damaged while you
are working. Accordingly, check the area in which
you are working beforehand (e.g. using a metal
detector). External metal parts of the power tool or
machine may become live, for example, when an
electric cable is damaged accidentally.
c) Check the power tool's supply cord at regular in-
tervals and have it replaced by a qualified special-
ist if found to be damaged. Check extension cords
at regular intervals and replace them if found to
be damaged. Do not touch the supply cord or
extension cord if it is damaged while working.
Disconnect the mains plug from the power outlet.
Damaged supply cords or extension cords present a
risk of electric shock.
d) Dirty or dusty power tools which have been used
frequently for work on conductive materials
should be checked at regular intervals at a Hilti
Service Center. Under unfavorable circumstances,
dampness or dust adhering to the surface of
the power tool, especially dust from conductive
materials, may present a risk of electric shock.
e) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the fastener
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Fasten-
ers contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
f) When working outdoors with an electric tool
check to ensure that the tool is connected to the
electric supply by way of a ground fault circuit
interrupter (RCD) with a rating of max. 30 mA
(tripping current). Use of a ground fault circuit
interrupter reduces the risk of electric shock.
g) Use of a ground fault circuit interrupter (RCD
residual current device) with a maximum tripping
current of 30 mA is recommended.
h) Switch the power tool off and unplug the supply
cord in the event of a power failure or interruption
in the electric supply. This will prevent accidental
restarting when the electric power returns.
