Operating Hazards; Projectile Hazards - RODCRAFT S5064-A Instrucciones De Seguridad

c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other
metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or
other small metal objects, that can make a connection from
one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
d) under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the
battery; avoid contact. if contact accidentally occurs, flush
with water. if liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
6) 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.
Additional rules for screwdrivers and wrenches
1) Entanglement hazards
a) keep away from rotating drive. Choking, scalping and / or
lacerations can occur if loose clothing, gloves, jewellery, neck
ware and hair are not kept away from tool and accessories.
b) Do not wear loose-fitting gloves or gloves with cut or frayed
fingers. Gloves can become entangled with the rotating drive,
causing severed or broken fingers.
c) Rotating drive sockets and drive extensions can easily
entangle rubber-coated or metal reinforced gloves.
d) never hold the drive, socket or drive extension.

2) operating hazards

a) operators and maintenance personnel must be physically
able to handle the bulk, weight and power of the tool.
b) hold the tool correctly: be ready to counteract normal or
sudden movements. Have both hands available.
c) immediately after adjusting the clutch, check for correct
operation.
d) Do not use in a worn condition. The clutch may not operate,
resulting in sudden rotation of the tool handle.
e) Always support the tool's handle securely, in the direction
opposite to the spindle rotation, to reduce the effect of
sudden torque reaction during final tightening and initial
loosening.
f) if possible, use a suspension arm to absorb the reaction
torque. if that is not possible, side handles are recommended
for straight-case and pistol-grip tools; reaction bars are
recommended for angle nutrunners. In any case, it is
recommended to use a means to absorb the reaction torque
above 4 Nm (3 lbf.ft) for straight-case tools, above 10 Nm (7.5
lbf.ft) for pistol-grip tools, and above 60 Nm (44 lbf.ft) for angle
nutrunners.

3) projectile hazards

a) Always wear impact-resistant eye and face protection when
involved with or near the operation, repair or maintenance of
the tool or changing accessories on the tool.
b) Be sure all others in the area are wearing impact-resistant
eye and face protection. Even small projectiles can injure eyes and
cause blindness.
c) Assemblies requiring a specific torque must be checked
using a torque meter. So-called "click" torque wrenches do not check
for potentially dangerous over-torqued conditions. Serious injury can
result from over-torqued or under-torqued fasteners, which can break, or
loosen and separate. Released assemblies can become projectiles.
d) Do not use hand sockets. Use only power or impact sockets in good
condition.
e) This tool and its accessories must not be modified in any
way.
4) Repetitive motion hazards
a) When using a power tool to perform work-related activities,
the operator might experience discomfort in the hands, arms,
shoulders, neck, or other parts of the body.
b) Adopt a comfortable posture whilst maintaining secure
footing and avoiding awkward or offbalance postures.
Changing posture during extended tasks can help avoid
discomfort and fatigue.
c) Do not ignore symptoms such as persistent or recurring
discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness,
burning sensation, or stiffness. Stop using the tool, tell your
employer and consult a physician.
5) Workplace hazards
a) slip/Trip/fall is a major cause of serious injury or death.
Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
b) Do not use in confined spaces. Beware of crushing hands
between tool and workpiece, especially when unscrewing.
c) high sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss.
Use hearing protection as recommended by your employer or
occupational health and safety regulations.
d) Ensure that the workpiece is securely fixed.
e) Repetitive work motions, awkward positions and exposure
to vibration can be harmful to hands and arms. If numbness,
tingling, pain or whitening of the skin occurs, stop using tool and
consult a physician.
f) proceed with care in unfamiliar surroundings. Be aware of
potential hazards created by your work activity. This tool is not
insulated from coming into contact with electric power sources.
Our goal is to produce tools that help you work safely and efficiently. The most
important safety device for this or any tool is YOU. Your care and good judge-
ment are the best protection against injury. All possible hazards cannot be
covered here, but we have tried to highlight some of the important ones. Only
qualified and trained operators should install, adjust or use this power tool.
