Keep third parties away from the power tool's area of
operation. Never work while animals or people,
especially children, are in the danger zone.
Keep the work area clean, organized and well lit (250 to 300
lux), thus decreasing the risk of accidents.
Always wear personal protective equipment and clothing.
Wearing a visor or goggles, dust mask, hearing protection,
anti-slip safety shoes, long-sleeved clothing, gloves and
helmet properly reduces the risk of injury.
Clothing worn during operation must be adequate, tight
and closed, for example, a work boiler suit. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewelry. Keep hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts.
The massive load of vibrations may damage nervous
and circulatory systems, especially in people who
have circulatory problems. Inform your doctor if any
symptoms caused by the vibrations arise. Among these
symptoms, that occur mainly on the fingers, hand and
wrists, are also included loss of sensation, pain, muscle
weakness, skin discoloration or tingling sensation.
While operating the power tool, plan rest breaks and avoid
running it for long periods of time. The permanent
vibrations are very harmful.
Control and safety devices installed on the power tool may
not be removed or inhibited.
To avoid accidents, you should also take into consideration
the following precautions and procedures:
▪ When operating the power tool, adopt a stable position
and always keep your balance. Hold the power tool firmly
to ensure continuous operation and to withstand
unexpected situations;
▪ Make sure that the ventilation slots are not clogged. Do
not place any objects over the slots;
▪ The accessories (drill bits, flat and pointed chisels) and
the chuck may become too hot during operation. There
is a risk of burns. Wear protective gloves when changing
accessories;
▪ Make sure that you do not damage the electrical circuits,
gas and water pipes when operating the power tool. Any
damage to these installations can cause fire, explosion,
electric shock or property damage;
▪ Avoid using the power tool on surfaces coated with
paints containing lead or other materials harmful to
health. Any contact or inhalation of dust may cause
allergic reactions and/or breathing disorders. Wear a
mask and work with a dust extraction device if the power
tool allows so;
▪ Materials containing asbestos cannot be sanded.
Asbestos is carcinogenic.
Before cleaning, adjusting, changing accessories, repairing
and maintenance tasks, you must unplug the power cord.
Replace worn out or damaged parts immediately, so that
the power tool is always in a safe operating condition.
Cleaning:
The power tool should be thoroughly cleaned after each
use.
Do not use aggressive cleaning products. These products
may damage plastics and metals, compromising the safe
operation of the power tool.
