▶ Wear eye protection. Flying fragments can injure the body and eyes.
▶ Before starting work, check the hazard class of the dust that will be pro-
duced when working. Use an industrial vacuum cleaner with an officially
approved protection class in compliance with the locally applicable dust
protection regulations. Dust from materials such as lead-based paint,
certain types of wood and concrete/masonry/stone containing quartz,
minerals or metal can be harmful to health.
▶ Make sure that the workplace is well ventilated and, where necessary,
wear a respirator appropriate for the type of dust generated. Contact with
or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory
or other diseases among operators 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). Only specialists are permitted to handle material containing
asbestos.
▶ Take breaks and do physical exercises to improve the blood circulation
in your fingers. Exposure to 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 power tool may
give you an electric shock if you damage an electric cable accidentally.
