Dust produced by grinding, sanding, cutting and drilling can contain dangerous chemicals. Some
examples are: lead or lead-based paints; brick, concrete and other masonry products, natural
stone and other products containing silicates; certain types of wood, such as oak, beech and
chemically treated wood; asbestos or materials that contain asbestos. Determine the exposure of
the operator and bystanders by means of the hazard classification of the materials to be worked.
Implement the necessary measures to restrict exposure to a safe level, for example by the use of a
dust collection system or by the wearing of suitable respiratory protection. The general measures
for reducing exposure include:
▶
working in an area that is well ventilated,
▶
avoidance of prolonged contact with dust,
▶
directing dust away from the face and body,
▶
wearing protective clothing and washing exposed areas of the skin with water and soap.
▶
Do not look directly into the light source (LEDs) of the power tool and do not aim the beam at other
persons' faces. Risk of dazzling or eye damage.
▶
Keep the air vents clear at all times. Risk of burn injuries due to blocked air vents!
▶
Avoid touching rotating parts. Touching rotating parts, especially rotating accessory tools, may
lead to injury.
▶
Wear protective gloves when changing the accessory tool. Touching the accessory tool can result
in cuts and burns.
▶
Switch the product on only after you have brought it to the working position.
▶
Wait until the product has come to a complete stop before you lay it down.
▶
Take frequent breaks and do physical exercises to improve the blood circulation in your fingers.
High vibration during long periods of work can lead to disorders of the blood vessels and nervous
system in the fingers, hands and wrists.
▶
Before beginning work, check the working area for concealed electric cables or gas and water
pipes. External metal parts of the product could give you an electric shock or cause an explosion
if you accidentally damage an electric cable or a gas or water pipe.
▶
Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece in position. The workpiece is
thus held more securely than by hand and both hands remain free to operate the power tool.
Careful handling and use of batteries
▶
Comply with the following safety instructions for the safe handling and use of Li-ion batteries.
Failure to comply can lead to skin irritation, severe corrosive injury, chemical burns, fire and/or
explosion.
▶
Use only batteries that are in perfect working order.
▶
Treat batteries with care in order to avoid damage and prevent leakage of fluids that are extremely
harmful to health!
▶
Do not under any circumstances modify or tamper with batteries!
▶
Do not disassemble, crush or incinerate batteries and do not subject them to temperatures over
80 °C (176 °F).
▶
Never use or charge a battery that has suffered an impact or been damaged in any other way.
Check your batteries regularly for signs of damage.
▶
Never use recycled or repaired batteries.
▶
Never use the battery or a battery-operated power tool as a striking tool.
▶
Never expose batteries to the direct rays of the sun, elevated temperature, sparking, or open flame.
This can lead to explosions.
▶
Do not touch the battery poles with your fingers, tools, jewelry, or other electrically conductive
objects. This can damage the battery and also cause material damage and personal injury.
▶
Keep batteries away from rain, moisture and liquids. Penetrating moisture can cause short circuits,
electric shock, burns, fire and explosions.
