Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
▶
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
▶
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
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 different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
▶
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
Service
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.
Safety warnings for screwdrivers and impact wrenches
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the
▶
fastener may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Fasteners contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
Additional safety precautions for screwdrivers
Personal safety
Use the product and accessories only when they are in perfect working order.
▶
Never tamper with or modify the product or accessories in any way.
▶
Use auxiliary handles supplied with the product. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
▶
Always hold the product with both hands on the grips provided. Keep the grips clean and dry.
▶
Do not touch rotating parts – risk of injury!
▶
Wear suitable eye protection, a hard hat, ear protection, and light respiratory protection while the
▶
product is in use.
Wear protective gloves when changing the accessory tool. Touching the accessory tool can result
▶
in cuts and burns.
Wear eye protection. Flying fragments can injure the body and eyes.
▶
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.
▶
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.
